NZ Birth Certificate – Application Form

Step 1 of 4

If you want to order a certificate for a historical birth (more than 100 years ago, or more than 50 years ago for stillbirths), you need to visit BDM Online.
If the birth took place overseas you need to order your certificate from that country. We will only issue certificates to people whose birthplace is New Zealand.
