Births,deaths,marriages.
Kia ora all.
Im just wondering if anyone else has had any problems with changes to your names when getting another birth certificate?
I needed a new birth cert in order to get a replacement driver licence.
Gave them my name as spelt on my neighbourly profile.
They said they could not find my details under the name i had given.
Now, as far as spelling, everything is correct.
My last name is 2words in one. With a space between the 2. My last name
"Te Maro".
As i have always spelt it.
Just like my parents and grandparents etc.
Yet, birth,deaths,marriages say there is no person of that name with a space in the system.
They can only find me under
"TeMaro".(Still looks like 2words)
I told them i have always had the space on my birth cert. They disagreed.
Anyway i didnt think it was a huge deal. Because it seems its still 2words because of the capital "M".
Continued off to apply for replacement driver licence.
Now. Names on licences are all spelt in capitals. Hmmm.
I advised that my name has a space.
They said they have to spell it the way it is on my birth cert. No space.
"TEMARO"
Big problem.
Everything in my lifetime iv applied for has a space in my name. All accounts, banking, IRD, etc. Everything has my last name with a space.
I told them that and they told me i will just have to change ALL my accounts.
Certain accounts i have to provide photo ID. ID that has name exactly spelt as my account is.
No way.
I found a picture i took of an expired driverlicence of mine.
The last name has a space in it on that licence. Meaning, name with space is in birth,deaths,marriages files. Yes?
I know i have an older copy of a birth cert that has a space in my last name, somewhere. Just got to find it. Cant remember where iv put it. Hence why i just went to get another one.
Faster.
Im glad i did, otherwise i would never have known about the illegal change that i wasnt notified about.
What about you?
My siblings names has that space, my parents (both departed from life)marriage cert has the space.
With my grandparents names (fathers parents) on there that has the space.
So now i have been closed off from certain accounts. Because the names do not match exactly. So im told i am NOT who i am.
Once i find an older birth cert then i will have undeniable proof.
If i cant find it i will have to seek help for copies from other government departments such as IRD or hopefully my bank has a copy.
I hope its not going to cause me too much hassle.
So.
Has anyone else had this problem with their name being illegally changed by the system?
Does anyone know why this has happened?
Has there been an update in the B,D,M computer system causing this issue?
Im going to seek legal advice.
How dare the system change who i am.
Im positive i can get my name back to the way it has always been within the system.
My evidence is building.
Taking photos of ones identification papers etc and having copies of parents, grandparents and siblings ID papers are a must.
Protect your identity people.

Homicide investigation underway in east Auckland
A homicide investigation is underway following two assaults aboard a bus in east Auckland on Monday evening.
One man has died with a second man receiving serious injuries after they were attacked in two separate incidents aboard the number 76 bus travelling from Glen Innes towards Ōrakei.
A team of investigators are actively searching for the offender, who remains at large this morning.
Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin, of Auckland City CIB, says Police were notified by ambulance about two separate assaults around 8pm.
At this stage Police have established the offender boarded the bus at Apirana Avenue in Glen Innes at 7.53pm.
Assault 1: Fenchurch and Taniwha Streets
“The first victim boarded the bus at 7.56pm and travelled a short distance before moving to exit the bus at 7.58pm,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says. “The only other passenger aboard initiated an attack on the victim, before he could exit the bus near Fenchurch Street in Glen Innes.”
During this assault, the victim has suffered a fatal knife wound. “The victim, is aged in his 50s, and managed to flee from the bus, before it continued on route.
Assault 2: in the vicinity of Coates Avenue and Kepa Road
The 76 bus continued on route and around 8.09pm, the second victim boarded the bus.
“A man aged in his 40s sat at the back of the bus where the offender moved towards him,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says. “The second unprovoked assault began when the offender approached the victim at the rear of the bus. The offender initiated a fight and quickly produced a knife and assaulted the victim. After a short confrontation the second victim managed to flee from the bus, along with another passenger and the bus driver near the bus stop at Coates Avenue and Kepa Road."
The offender eventually exited the bus himself and was last seen fleeing on foot.
Investigators seeking offender
Police staff have worked through the night to identify the offender responsible for both unprovoked attacks. This has included 2 scene examinations. The bus has been secured and will be examined today.
“I can advise the community that we are following positive lines of enquiry to identify this man, and our priority this morning is to locate and arrest him. Detectives are currently supported by members of the Armed Offenders Squad,” Detective Inspector Baldwin says.
Police have reviewed CCTV footage from inside the bus.
Detective Inspector Baldwin says: “I’m appalled at the unprovoked violence used by this offender against two men who have done absolutely nothing wrong, and one has tragically and needlessly lost his life.
“Our investigation is still in its infancy, but we are committed to understanding the motive and exactly why such violence took place aboard a bus last night."
“I know this horrific event will leave the community unsettled, but please be assured that our investigation team is doing all we can to locate this man.”
Police have spoken with a number of people but ask anyone with additional information to come forward.
Please update Police online now or call 105 using the reference number 251208/7471 or Operation Gyle.
Information can also be provided anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.
