Information about marriage in New Zealand for Japanese citizens

1. Normally the only document required for marriage in New Zealand is the Notice of Intended Marriage. In the case of Japanese citizens, it is also recommended that you bring a certified copy of your Family Register, translated into English, as a record of your birth and any previous marriages. If you have been married before, you should also bring a copy of documents showing how the previous marriage ended. If you have been divorced before, ensure that the divorce certificate shows 'decree absolute'.
