International surrogacy and citizenship

Getting New Zealand citizenship for a child born through an international surrogacy agreement involves multiple government agencies and processes. Your options are outlined in a fact sheet produced by DIA and the other agencies involved in international surrogacy matters.

This includes information about:

  • using overseas parental orders to get citizenship
  • options for getting citizenship.

The fact sheet is on the Oranga Tamariki website:

Information Fact Sheet: International Surrogacy — Oranga Tamariki

DIA is part of a whole-of-government approach to surrogacy matters. This fact sheet was produced jointly by DIA, Immigration New Zealand, Oranga Tamariki , and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Oranga Tamariki has more information about surrogacy on their website:
