New Zealand ID / Licence from India: identity-document crop only
Scope lock: New Zealand ID / Licence is an identity / residence-style document page, kept separate from passport and licence URLs.
From India, digital uploads for New Zealand new zealand id / licence cases are common. Do not upload a Passport Seva / local square crop unless it already matches the size shown above.
This article is scoped to New Zealand ID / Licence as a New Zealand identity / residence-style photo (35 × 45 mm, Light grey), kept separate from passport and licence pages.
Cross-border ID work: market India, photo law New Zealand for New Zealand ID / Licence. Passport and licence copy stay on other URLs.

Home-market tip: India passport photos are commonly about 35 × 45 mm. New Zealand ID / Licence instead demands 35 × 45 mm — different aspect ratio, not a simple resize.
From India: selfie → New Zealand ID / Licence → upload → use the export for New Zealand registry / residence filings.
Why India defaults fail New Zealand ID checks
A 35 × 45 mm India print is not automatically a valid 35 × 45 mm ID crop for New Zealand ID / Licence.
Registries want a plain Light grey field and a current likeness — not a reused travel JPEG.
Registry / online ID notes from India
File the newest New Zealand ID / Licence export with the New Zealand identity office or portal.
Compress only after the ID crop is locked.
Keep the selector on New Zealand ID / Licence
Do not flip to a India passport or licence mid-flow — millimetres will silently change.
New Zealand ID / residence photo
New Zealand ID / Licence uses 35 × 45 mm and a Light grey background. If you arrived from a passport or licence search, confirm the selector still shows this ID document.
