New Zealanders are being warned to apply for new passports at least two months before they need them.

Current advice from the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) is that people should allow eight weeks, plus delivery, for a standard passport to be issued.

The extending wait times are being blamed on upgrades to the passport system and increased seasonal demand.
