The short answer
New Zealand’s rules don’t list what a website must carry. They forbid anything false or misleading about you, your licence status, your business or New Zealand’s immigration requirements, and they say what goes beside the Authority’s trade mark if you use it. So a site should show:
- your licence number beside your name, where a stranger lands;
- the public register one tap away, so the licence can be checked;
- if you use the trade mark, each licensed adviser’s name and licence number beside it, on the same page, never as hidden text;
- and no promised outcome anywhere: no visa “guaranteed”.
This is what the rules say and how a site can show them. It is not legal advice, and Aditya is not an adviser or a lawyer: the Authority’s own words are the ones that count, and each is linked under Sources.
What the rules say
- Only a licensed adviser, or someone exempt, may give immigration advice about New Zealand (Immigration Advisers Licensing Act 2007, section 63). Holding yourself out as an adviser, or as licensed, when you are not is an offence too (sections 64 and 65).
- The Licensed Immigration Advisers Code of Conduct 2014, still the code in force, clause 29: an adviser must not misrepresent, or promote in a false, fraudulent or deceptive way, themselves (including their licence status or type), their business, their employees, the client, immigration opportunities or risks, or New Zealand’s immigration requirements.
- The Authority’s own example of a breach: advertising that a visa is 100% guaranteed, because the adviser is not the one who decides.
- Clause 32: “A licensed immigration adviser must, if using the ‘Licensed by Immigration Advisers Authority’ trade mark, do so in accordance with the Trade Mark Licence Agreement.” The Authority’s guidance on clause 32, read on 28 September 2026, says what that means. In its own words: “Display the adviser’s name next to the Trade Mark” and “Display the adviser’s licence number alongside the Trade Mark”; in a firm, “the names of all licensed advisers” must be “clearly visible in close proximity to the Trade Mark”; an adviser must not use it in a way that creates “an impression that their company or business trade name is licensed”; and “On a website, the Trade Mark must not be displayed as hidden text or in a linked page to the Trade Mark.”
No clause of the Code says, in so many words, “put your licence number on your website”. But if your site shows the trade mark, the Authority’s guidance asks for your name and licence number right beside it. Either way, showing the number is the quickest way to prove the one thing clause 29 protects: your licence status.
How a site shows it
- The licence number beside the adviser’s name in the first screen, on a phone, without scrolling, and again at the foot of every page.
- A link from the number to the Authority’s public register.
- If you use the trade mark: every licensed adviser’s name and number beside it, on the page itself, not behind a link.
- A line on every page that Immigration New Zealand makes the final decision, and that no outcome is guaranteed.
- Testimonials only with written consent, word for word.
- A price, or at least a starting figure, so a stranger can compare.
- One page per visa route, in plain English.
The trade mark lines are the Authority’s own guidance; the rest are how a site makes clause 29 easy to keep. Five checks to run on your own site.
A site built this way
On the site Aditya built for a licensed adviser in Tauranga, the licence number sits beside the adviser’s name near the top of the home page, one tap from the public register, and again at the foot of all twelve pages. Every page ends by saying that Immigration New Zealand makes the final decision and that no outcome is guaranteed. How it was built, and why.
The site is live: nzvisaimmigration.co.nz. Open it on your phone and check the licence for yourself.
