Completing your NZ Census forms online
A tip from experience for anyone planning to complete their census form online: they don’t tell you to keep your initial browser window open while you’re completing the brown Dwelling Form, which opens in a new browser window. So, should you have a short attention span, get bored with answering personal questions and decide to take a look at NZBC before you’ve finished, do so by opening a new browser window. Otherwise, if you click away from the initial Statistics New Zealand page and close that window, when you’ve completed the Dwelling Form and want to fill in the blue Individual Form, it tells you that a session with that Internet ID is already active, forcing you to log-on all over again… and again, until the session times-out. That minor hiccup notwithstanding, it’s still quicker than paper — although you need to have the PIN from the sealed envelope and the Internet ID that come with your hardcopy forms before you start. Completing the forms took me less than ten minutes, and at the end of it you’re issued with receipt numbers to prove you’ve “already given”.
