Send us your publication
Information about how to deposit your physical and digital publications.
Where to send your publication
Send your physical or digital publication with your completed legal deposit form using one of the addresses or methods on this page.
If you are submitting an ongoing publication, for example, a magazine, you don't need to complete a form for each new issue.
You can also drop your publication to the National Library in Wellington. When you get here ask our Kaiarahi to contact a legal deposit staff member, or leave it with Alexander Turnbull Library staff in the Reading Room.
Download the form and save it before you fill it out.
