Births, Deaths and Marriages - Registers all births, deaths and marriages which take place in New Zealand. The second major facet of the business of the registry is to provide access to registered birth, death and marriage information, either as certificates or by way of various information services. The registry also provides a number of other services, including change of name by statutory declaration and approval of marriage celebrants. -- http://www.bdm.govt.nz/bdm.html New Zealand: Government: Agencies and Departments(1)
