Need a copy of your birth certificate?
If you need a copy of your birth certificate you can:
💻Apply online using the Certificates Service certificates.services.govt.nz...
📱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:

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
