The Citizenship Declaration Form is a mandatory component of the New Zealand citizenship application process, designed to capture crucial information about applicants seeking New Zealand citizenship. This document, governed by the Citizenship Act 1977 and related regulations, requires applicants to make formal declarations about their eligibility, including statements about their residency history, good character, language proficiency, and intentions to reside in New Zealand. The form must be completed with absolute truthfulness and witnessed by an authorized person, such as a Justice of the Peace or legal practitioner. It serves as a legal record of the applicant's claims and declarations, with serious consequences for false statements. The document is typically used in conjunction with other supporting documentation to establish an applicant's eligibility for New Zealand citizenship.
