Ceremonies
Citizenship Ceremonies
These Ceremonies are organised for people residing in New Zealand who want to become New Zealand citizens.
The Department of Internal Affairs handle all aspects of the paperwork relating to who can apply and how it is done. They also handle all the paperwork that goes with each person or family group wanting citizenship.
Hurunui District Council only hosts the official ceremony, where people undertake the "swearing in" process. In acknowledgement of this, the Mayor presents them with their official Citizenship Certificate, a native tree in celebration of their new status, and also light refreshments with the Councillors. These ceremonies are done throughout the year as the need arises. Usually there are two or three ceremonies a year.
Anybody with any queries regarding the Department of Internal side of the process are to contact the Citizenship Contact Centre on 0800 22 51 51.
For queries regarding the actual Ceremony, please contact the Council Secretary at Hurunui District Council on
DDI 03-314-0030.
