📱Call the Office of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) on 0800 22 52 52
✉️Apply by post using the paper application form - BDM93B Request for New Zealand Birth Certificate
🗣Order your birth certificate in person in Auckland, Manukau, Wellington or Christchurch where there are BDM offices. You'll need photo ID and generally have to book an appointment first.
A standard (plain) birth certificate costs $33 and a decorative birth certificate (forest or beach scene) costs $35. You need to pay by debit or credit card. For those who don't have one of these this sometimes means buying a Prezzy Card, which is a Visa gift card and can be used like a credit card.
It usually takes 1 to 2 weeks for a birth certificate to be issued.
For more information, including what to do if there is a problem with your order or if you cannot afford the cost of ordering your birth certificate, applying for a birth certificate for someone else, registering the birth of a child, or how to apply for your birth certificate if you were not born in New Zealand, go to:

Today we have Andrew Hubbard from Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CABNZ) who will be answering your questions about your consumer rights.
A little bit about Andrew:
Dr Andrew Hubbard is deputy chief executive of Citizens Advice Bureau New Zealand (CAB) and loves working for the CAB so much that he’s been there for more than fifteen years.
Andrew believes in the difference people can make working together in the community and loves being able to support the work of the more than 2000 CAB volunteers across the motu. Andrew’s background is in policy and he’s been actively involved in consumer issues for the fifteen years he’s been at the CAB.
Andrew and the CAB team are ready to answer your questions about your consumer rights. This might be questions about when you can get a refunds, your rights when buying via Facebook or overseas, product delivery issues and what to do if a retailer won't sort a problem out for you.
Andrew is here live on Wednesday from 9.30am for your questions.

After last year’s standing ovation for Rachmaninov 2, we are thrilled to welcome back the prodigious 14-year-old pianist Shan Liu. Performing Tchaikovsky’s iconic Piano Concerto No. 1, with its unmistakable and electrifying opening, Shan’s return promises a thrilling display of passion and virtuosity.
Composed between 2021 and 2023 - a time marked by unprecedented global challenges - Adrien de Croy’s Symphony No. 1, The Resolute delves into the human condition under the weight of turmoil. With tension crackling through each movement, this symphony takes listeners on a journey of endurance, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit. The Resolute is not only a reflection of external struggles but also an intimate exploration of the inner battle for hope amid chaos, conveying a shared experience of a world in flux and the possibility of renewal.
The evening opens with Rossini's playful Barber of Seville Overture, setting the stage for an unforgettable night of music.
Join us for a FREE pre-show talk with composer Adrien de Croy and conductor Uwe Grodd, held in the theater at 6:45 pm, to explore the inspiration and themes behind The Resolute.
