Identification process for Betting Account established through internet

After completing the required application form for a new Betting Account, internet users MUST provide verification of identity, this may be by means of documentary or other evidence that is capable of identifying the customer. The accepted means of Identification are certified copies of a:

  • Passport
  • Driver’s licence

A copy of the relevant page or pages of the above that contain the personal details, photograph and signature of the account applicant will be required. These must be endorsed by a reputable and identifiable person such as a:

  • Notary public
  • Lawyer
  • Doctor in private practice
  • Justice of the peace
  • Government official

Please ensure that the endorsement is either stamped or a phone number provided by the verifier. (Please note that existing phonebetting Account Holders who enable their existing phone account for internet access do not need to send any identification.)

Note that the above form of identification can be presented at a Totalisator Agency in New Zealand for verification of identity and signature, in which case the TAB representative will send the verification documents to Account Betting Customer Services.

This can be either sent to:

If verification of the identity of the Account Holder is not received within 30 days of opening, the account may be "frozen" and may not be accessible until such time as this is received. Please note that withdrawals can NOT be made from accounts until this documentation has been received.
