Hi Irishlass,

If I remember correctly you need the NZ passport office site and you can download both citizenship by descent forms and also passport application forms. You'll need their birth certificates, your birth certificate and it cost us about 400 GPB for 4 kids. All came through quite quickly.

I think this is right! :)

Hi

I am guessing you have been looking at the Immigration site?

Instead, check the Department of Internal Affairs Website. Their main site is www.dia.govt.nz but try this link:

There's information on citizenship by descent there?

Are there any plans to move back to New Zealand and out of interest, are you also an Irish citizen?
