Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 2021

Summary

The Births, Deaths, Marriages and Relationships Registration Act 2021 is a New Zealand act of parliament, which replaces the Births, Deaths, Marriages, and Relationships Registration Act 1995. It also implements several recommendations from the Law Commission's review of burial and cremation law, and makes it easier for people to change the sex on their birth certificates without having to go through the Family Court or show evidence of medical treatment to change their sex.
