Index only collections of birth, marriage and death records. The original records are located with the New Zealand Government, Internal Affairs. For official birth death and marriage certificates or for registered copies of original images held by the Department of Internal Affairs, please visit the site bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz. When searching this index FamilySearch will advise that an image of the record is viewable at bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz. This is not correct. However, by going to bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz a certificate or certified copy of the register can be ordered.
