Planned system outage - 12 September 2026 | Our online services including myIR, self service phone lines and gateway services will be unavailable on Saturday 12 September, 2026 from 1pm to approximately 10.30pm while we complete a planned system update. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

There can often be delays processing non-individual IRD number registrations when all the information we need is not sent with the application.

The most common information missing.

  • Supporting documentation 
  • IRD numbers for all related parties
  • For estates – a cover letter explaining why a related party has an overseas address or country on supporting documents

Including all the information we need means we can process the application and supply the IRD number faster.
