From: Official Information
Christchurch City Council
Tçnâ koe Alex,
On 9 September 2024, you requested the following information, under the
Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA):
Do you already know the dates for the upcoming citizenship ceremonies for
October and November 2025?
I can confirm that citizenship ceremonies have been booked for the
following dates:
o 22 September
o 10 November
o 24 November
o 9 December
There are no citizenship ceremonies in October due to the Local Government
elections.
Please note that while Christchurch City Council organises the ceremonies,
the Council is not responsible for allocating candidates to ceremony
dates. This is the decision of the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA).
Ceremonies are by invitation only with invitations sent to new citizens by
the DIA. If you have a query regarding an upcoming ceremony, these should
be made to the DIA Citizenship Ceremonies Office by email
to [1][email address].
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review our
decision. Complaints can be sent by email to
[2][email address].
Publication of responses to LGOIMA requests
Please note: our LGOIMA responses may be published on the Christchurch
City Council website a week after they have been responded to, with
requesters’ personal details withheld. If you have any concerns about
this, please contact the Official Information team on
[3][Christchurch City Council request email].
