If you’re trying to sell Australian shares , a New Zealand passport usually is not the document you enter for the sale itself. For Computershare’s Investor Trade, the help page says you need at least two Australian-issued ID documents, and it is not available to NZ-domiciled shareholders; a New Zealand passport alone does not meet that requirement.

What to use instead

  • If you already have an Investor Centre account, log in and choose the holding, then go to Action and Sell.
  • If you do not have an account, use Access a Single Holding , then enter your SRN , postcode, and the other requested details.
  • If the system asks for identity documents, it specifically requires Australian government-issued ID combinations such as an Australian driver’s licence, Australian passport, and Medicare card.

For a New Zealand passport

A New Zealand passport may be accepted on some other platforms or for some identity checks, but for this specific Computershare sell flow the stated requirement is Australian-issued ID, so the New Zealand passport is not the field you “enter” to enable the sale. If you’re NZ-based or NZ-domiciled, the page says you may need to sell via a stockbroker instead.

Practical next step

Use the sale page’s normal share details first, and if it blocks you on identity, switch to a broker route rather than trying to force the NZ passport into an Australian-ID field.

If you want, I can help you figure out the exact path based on whether your shares are held through Computershare, Link, or a broker.
