The INZ1253 is the official Absent Vaccination Documentation Record used by Immigration New Zealand when an applicant cannot produce proof of previously received immunisations. This form allows the applicant (or a parent/guardian) to declare the missing records and request the appropriate catch‑up vaccination schedule.
The form is required for anyone applying for a New Zealand visa or residency who does not have the original vaccination certificates. By completing INZ1253 you acknowledge that you will follow the full catch‑up immunisation schedule based on your age.
Instead of downloading, printing, and scanning, you can fill out the form directly on our site:
After you have saved the filled PDF, attach it to your visa or residency application through the Immigration New Zealand online portal. If you are applying by paper, include the printed form with your supporting documents.
