Reporting a national security concern

Te pūrongo i tētahi māharahara haumarutanga ā-motu

The NZSIS is not a law enforcement agency.

To report an imminent threat to life or property, call 111 and ask for Police.
To report criminal activity that is not time-critical, call Police on 105.

Use this form to report a national security concern

The NZSIS is responsible for protecting New Zealand against threats to national security. We want to hear from you if you have concerns relating to national security, such as:

violent extremism or terrorism – the use of violence or threat of violence in the pursuit of political, religious, ideological, or social objectives. NZSIS investigates any form of violent extremism.
foreign interference or espionage – when a foreign state seeks to influence, disrupt, or subvert New Zealand’s interest through covert, deceptive, corruptive, or threatening means.

Reporting concerning behaviours or activities can save lives

Even if you have some small concerns but aren’t sure whether to proceed, please do report them. Trusting your instincts is important – your concerns could be an important piece of the puzzle.

Important note: any personal information you provide is securely encrypted and kept confidential.

Tips for answering these questions

Questions 1, 2, and 3 are compulsory. They help you summarise your main concerns.
To provide more detailed information, you can upload a document file in question 6.
