Proof of address – Private Box Support

You cannot use a Private Box address as proof of address. We are a postal address only; you cannot claim that we are a residential address for any reason.

You can produce proof of address if you have an IRD number. You can apply for an IRD number via https://www.ird.govt.nz/managing-my-tax/ird-numbers/ird-numbers-for-individuals/

Once you have a myIR login you can obtain proof of your address via

1. https://myir.ird.govt.nz/

2. I want to...

3. Review my IRD numbers

4. Print main IRD number

If it displays the wrong address, you can update your address via:

1. https://myir.ird.govt.nz/

2. I want to...

3. Manage names and addresses

4. Click on the "addresses" tab

5. And update your "main address" and postal address to be your Private Box physical address.

If you need to set-up a bank account, see our article about that.
