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.
Find the contact details for each Australian state’s BDM office:

🌎 If your birth was registered in another country, you will probably need to contact the appropriate embassy, consulate or High Commission in your country of birth. To find the relevant authority in your country of birth contact their embassy, consulate or High Commission for advice.
