Nau mai haere mai ki Te Waharoa. Our Auckland information office is open for daily appointments only. Please ring us to make an appointment before travelling into the Ellerslie office.
We can help you with general advice and tips to use our new technology, Pātaka Whenua, assist you to fill out your application form and check those forms for completeness, give you advice on what application(s) to file for what purpose(s) and other general enquiries related to Court’s services.
We are unable to carry out extensive research to compose your whakapapa or to investigate the historical events and activities of a particular land block. You will need to make an application for that information or use the search tools on our new technology to do that yourself.

The Office of the Chief Registrar is an information office that is open to the public. Whilst we can provide general information, usually only applications to the Chief Judge and the Māori Appellate Court may be lodged in our Wellington office (there are some exceptions, which you can discuss with us).
