Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade

If you have concerns for a missing New Zealander’s safety overseas and all other avenues of enquiry have been exhausted, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade may be able to try to locate the missing person through its network of overseas posts by:

  • following up on contact details for the missing person if you have these
  • checking whether the person is registered through www.safetravel.govt.nz
  • checking with local Police, major hotels, hostels, and hospitals where this is feasible including under local law.
