Completing online identity verification
Verify a teacher's identity
Teachers can select a principal or centre manager as their identity referee.
If you’re asked to verify a teacher’s identity, you’ll receive an email asking you to log in to start the process. You’ll need to have the ‘Professional Leader’ role type assigned to you in Hapori Matatū. If you don't have this, you can contact our friendly team.
Steps to verify the teacher's identity
Log into My Rawa
If you do not have a login, you can check out this webpage.
Scroll down to the section named ‘I want to’. This will open up the ‘Registration and Certification’ tab in Hapori Matatū.
Click on the card called Approval Requests.
Click on the down arrow to change the list view to ‘My ID Approvals’.
Select the appropriate ENDORSE-xxxx to view the identity verification details.
Click the ‘Verify Identity’ button.
Answer each question for the primary and secondary identity documents, then click ‘Submit’ to complete the identity verification.
If you’ve received an email notification and have the Professional Leader role but can’t see the request, the teacher might have selected the incorrect person. Let the teacher know that the easiest way to find you is to select your name by your Teaching Council registration number.
