INZ1254 – Decline Consent in Absentia (Fillable PDF)

The INZ1254 – Decline Consent in Absentia is an Immigration New Zealand form used when a client, parent, or legal guardian cannot be present to give consent for a visa‑related decision. This fillable PDF lets you complete the form quickly, securely, and without the need for additional software.

What Is the INZ1254 Form?

INZ1254 records a written decline of consent on behalf of a person who is absent. It is typically required for:

  • Applicants who are minors and need a guardian’s consent.
  • Clients who are overseas or otherwise unable to sign in person.
  • Cases where a medical professional or authorised representative must confirm the decline.

When to Use the Decline Consent in Absentia Form

Use this form whenever Immigration New Zealand requests proof that an absent party has formally declined consent for a visa application, amendment, or appeal. Submitting the correct form helps avoid processing delays.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Leaving mandatory fields blank: The form will not validate if required sections are empty.
  • Incorrect date format: Use DD/MM/YYYY as shown in the example.
  • Illegible signatures: Use a clear electronic signature or print‑sign‑scan if required.
  • Submitting the wrong version: Always use the latest INZ1254 PDF provided by Immigration New Zealand.
