You can send these to help@trademeinsurance.co.nz. You'll need to let us know your policy number and details of the insured so that we can attach the documents to the correct policy.

Once we've received these we will update our records and process the request.

 

Why do we need a certificate of Non-Revocation of Power of Attorney?

The certificate is the only approved means of declaring that the attorney in fact still holds authority.
