新西兰女儿更新新西兰护照，很早就回国了，需要见证
在新西兰
女儿在新西兰出生，持有新西兰护照，但是出生几个月以后就回国了。现在孩子快五岁了，需要更新新西兰护照，但是没有合适的见证人（因为回国很早，大多朋友也都是只是ＰＲＶ）。求助万能的论坛，谢谢

不明白你说的“见证人”什么意思？英文原文是什么？
父母不是最好的见证人吗？你女儿这里出生，没有新西兰的出生证明吗？

A referee must have known you for over one year, be sixteen or older, not be part of your family group and live at a different address. Please provide the following details of a referee who meets these criteria:
Their New Zealand passport number
Their full name
Their contact phone numbers
Their date of birth

光有出生证也不行，关键会问很多很多问题，关键孩子出生以后就回国了，就算和朋友有联系也不会知道的非常清楚

你放心，根本没有那么严格
如果有疑问，内政部会会直接打电话询问，你朋友只需要直说就行

这个没关系的，叫你朋友（有新西兰护照的）填下自己的资料就可以了。

谢谢以上朋友的解答，据说今年很严格，还是想咨询一下有相关经验的律所，麻烦推荐一下，谢谢
