During the year, citizenship officers have appointments in regional offices around New Zealand.

How to make an appointment

Call the Citizenship Office to make an appointment. Or you can email them — include your phone number and they will call you back.

They will organise a time with you, and tell you where you need to go and what you need to bring.
