Reasons for Change in Appropriation
The appropriation increased by $1.520 million to $235.590 million for 2016/17.
The increase in the Managing and Accessing Identity Information category was due to:
- an increase in expenditure for Identity Products due to demand and expenditure associated with the Transforming the System of Service Delivery programme (increase of $7.797 million).
This increase was partially offset by:
- a decrease in expenditure associated with the uptake of RealMe Services (decrease of $1.962 million)
- a reduction in the capital charge rate (decrease of $755,000)
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $361,000), and
- a reallocation of funding to the non-departmental appropriation Official Residences - Maintenance Costs for costs associated with official residences owned by the Crown (decrease of $200,000).
The decrease in the Managing and Accessing Knowledge Information category was due to:
- a reduction in the capital charge rate (decrease of $2.923 million)
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $1.099 million)
- a realignment of the revenue and expenditure baseline associated with the provision of services provided by the National Library of New Zealand to third parties (decrease of $267,000), and
- a transfer of funding to the non-departmental appropriation Miscellaneous Grants - Internal Affairs to reflect the Department of Internal Affairs' contribution for Wellington resilience modelling (decrease of $200,000).
These decreases were partially offset by:
- expenditure associated with demand for the Kotui shared library and resource discovery service (increase of $876,000) and Electronic Purchasing in Collaboration services (increase of $879,000).
The decrease in the Publishing Civic Information category was due to:
- a reduction in expenditure due to lower demand for the New Zealand Gazette (decrease of $265,000).

The change to 10 year validity for adult passports has resulted in increased demand for passport products. It is expected that this behaviour will continue for the next five years until 2021. This has resulted in higher revenue and expenses with the net result being an overall increase in the memorandum account surplus. After 2021, there is a significant decrease in forecast adult volumes at which point the memorandum account will return to a deficit. A report to Cabinet is due in 2018 on options to address the projected deficit from 2021.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation increased by $653,000 to $11.270 million for 2016/17.
The increase in the Advisory and Information Services to Ethnic Communities category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $354,000), and
- an increase in expenditure associated with an increase in SERCO costs for Language Line (increase of $283,000).
These increases were partially offset by:
- a reduction in the capital charge rate (decrease of $8,000).
The increase in the Community Archives Support category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $25,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
This appropriation increased by $3.134 million to $34.163 million for 2016/17.
The increase in the Cross-Government ICT Strategy and Planning, Service Delivery and Investment Proposals category was due to:

This increase was partially offset by:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $769,000), and
- a reduction in the capital charge rate (decrease of $29,000).
The decrease in the Government Chief Privacy Officer category was due to:
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $121,000).

- an increase in expenditure associated with All-of-Government Common Capability Products due to demand, project expenditure for the ICT Market Place and Telecommunications as a Service and an increase in security related expenditure for existing products (increase of $2.029 million)
- a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $450,000), and
- funding for the ICT Market Place (increase of $400,000).
