The Kiwi Access Card, formerly known as the HANZ 18+ Card, is a voluntary identity photo card available to residents of New Zealand over the age of 18. It is available to drivers and non-drivers primarily as an identity document and to access places restricted to persons over the age of 18. The card is issued by Hospitality New Zealand. While it is a government-recognised form of photographic ID and evidence of age card, it is not considered government-issued identification.
In October 1999, the Hospitality Association of New Zealand was approved to issue the New Zealand 18+ card by National justice minister Tony Ryall. It was initially available for $20. In November, NZ Post shops began processing applications for cards, and began printing them in December.
