Last updated 30 October 2026

Every issued report carries a verify code. Enter it at certify.nz/verify to see who issued the report and when, and whether it is the current version.

Check a report code

  1. Go to certify.nz/verify.
  2. Enter the verify code printed on the report.
  3. The page shows the building, who issued the report, when, and whether it is current.

What the check means

A match confirms the report was issued through certify.nz by the named IQP and hasn't been altered. certify.nz doesn't inspect the building or check the findings; the IQP is responsible for those.

Questions

What if the code is not found?

Check every character (0 and O look alike), then contact the IQP who issued the report.
