New Zealand Birth Certificate

New Zealand Birth Certificate

New Zealand Birth Certificates are issued to persons who were born in New Zealand. The Department of Internal Affairs is responsible for issuing birth certificates in New Zealand.

Information listed on New Zealand Birth Certificates are:

  • First / Given Names
  • Surname / Family Names
  • Sex
  • Date of Birth
  • Place of Birth
  • Mother's First and Family Names
  • Mother's surname at birth
  • Mother's Date of Birth
  • Mother's place of birth
  • Father's First and Family Names
  • Father's date of birth
  • Father's place of birth

The end of the certificate is ended by a legal clause and the person's birth registration number assigned at birth.

Since 1 January 2006, a minor addition shows on all new certificates ordered: 'New Zealand Citizen by Birth' will be added and will have 'Yes' , 'No' or 'Not Applicable to births that occurred prior to 1 January 2006'

Certain historical records including historical birth certificates are available online in a searchable format on the Birth, Death and Marriage Historical Records website. The available records are for births recorded at least one hundred years ago.
