I.D. Requirements

^ Identity verification is mandatory; see here for the IRD's direction to Tax Agents on this. If you do not hold a New Zealand Driver Licence, please supply a certified copy of your Driver License or Passport.

A certified copy of ID is Driver Licence or Passport that is stamped, signed and dated by a Trusted Referee. You'll need to scan the certified copy and send it through via email to us, or attach it above. Then you'll need to post or courier the original to us as well!
As part of new Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing, accountants and lawyers must now not only verify the identity of clients, but also (in some instances) obtain 1. an explanation on where your wealth/money has come from and 2. get proof of that. In addition, all Trusts are subject to Enhanced Customer Due Diligence, which is why this form has a million questions.
Depending on what your Wealth is, the Source could vary. See this document for examples.
