Create a QR code poster

Created: May 21, 2020 at 11:38 AM | Updated: July 1, 2020 | By NZ Navigator Trust

From Friday 25 March 2022 there is no requirement to scan in or for a business to display a QR code poster or have mandatory record keeping.

If you are a public facing organisation that has visitors or staff coming on site, you can generate a QR code poster for your premises.

This QR (quick response) code poster will enable your staff or visitors to create a digital diary of the places they have visited by using your code poster and the NZ COVID Tracer app. 

The Ministry of Health has set up a process for businesses to generate NZ COVID Tracer QR code posters - all you need is a valid New Zealand drivers licence to generate an official poster. If you don't have a drivers licence you can find more information here.

How does the self service web form work? 

  1. Verify your identity - you’ll need a valid New Zealand driver licence to verify your identity. If you don’t have a driver licence, you can still request posters by following these instructions.
  2. Enter your location details - provide the physical address and contact information of your location.
  3. Get your official NZ COVID Tracer QR code poster - receive your QR code poster via email once it’s ready

How does the poster code work?

Each QR code poster contains a scannable code based on the organisation's New Zealand Business Number (NZBN) and Global Location Number.

QR code posters should be displayed where your staff or visitors enter the premises.
