You can update it at any time, up until you get to the border in New Zealand. Information you need to provide when filling out your NZTD includes: - Your passport, contact and flight details; - Your immigration status (if required); - Details about your trip, including your recent travel history; - Items you are bringing into New Zealand, including in your carry on bags and checked in luggage. With the NZTD app you can: - Scan your passport to add your passport details; - Add and complete multiple declarations, for example, for your children; - Use offline mode to enter information while you’re flying or out of WiFi or data range.

Your NZTD will automatically show up when your passport is scanned at the border.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flamingo Scooters holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NZTD has 600 ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Flamingo Scooters's written reviews are positive against 84% of NZTD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flamingo Scooters ships an update every 4 weeks, NZTD monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
