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.
