Notarial services
In certain circumstances, the High Commission in Pretoria and our Honorary Consuls may be able to witness affidavits, affirmations, statutory declarations and other documents for use under New Zealand law. Please contact the High Commission in Pretoria to enquire about this service, including the relevant fees.
The Births, Deaths and Marriages Office has information for New Zealanders who want to get married overseas. If you feel it is essential to register your marriage in New Zealand, the 1995 Marriages Act requires that the witnessing of marriages be conducted by a New Zealand representative from the High Commission in Pretoria. Requests for High Commission attendance will be considered against the location, staff resources and convenience. Please note that our Honorary Consuls are not able to witness marriages. A fee will be charged for witnessing a marriage and any costs incurred, such as accommodation and travel, are to be met by the person who requires a witness. Please contact the High Commission in Pretoria should you wish to pursue this option.
