The end of the certificate is ended by a legal clause and the person's birth registration number assigned at birth.

Since 1 January 2006, a minor addition shows on all new certificates ordered: 'New Zealand Citizen by Birth' will be added and will have 'Yes', 'No' or 'Not Applicable to births that occurred prior to 1 January 2006'

Certain historical records including historical birth certificates are available online in a searchable format on the Birth, Death and Marriage Historical Records website. The available records are for births recorded at least one hundred years ago.
