Citizenship ceremonies

New Zealand citizenship ceremonies are held in Kāpiti several times a year.

Ceremonies are carried out by the Mayor and start at 7pm in the Council Chambers, which are located in the Civic Building (unless otherwise informed). Candidates and guests need to be seated by 6.50pm as once the ceremony starts, the doors to the Civic Building are locked for security reasons and no one else will be able to enter. Please make sure you're on time if you're coming along.

Citizenship ceremonies are open to recipients and invited guests only. A light supper follows the ceremony.

Dress Code: Smart/Casual. We also encourage recipients to wear their National Dress. No jeans, shorts, tee shirts or jandals please. If you are unsure of what to wear please contact the office of the mayor for clarification, phone 04 296 4700.
