Getting your birth certificate
🇳🇿 The office of Births, Deaths and Marriages (BDM) is only able to supply you with a copy of your birth certificate if your birth was registered in New Zealand.
🇦🇺 If you were born in Australia, you can get a copy of your birth certificate by contacting the Australian BDM in the state you were born.
