Application forms
You can submit your application online in Pātaka Whenua. You can download and edit these PDF forms for the Māori Land Court and the Māori Appellate Court applications and email or mail them to us.
To complete an application form, you can print them out, or you can fill them in electronically on your computer or device, or through Pātaka Whenua.
Once completed, you can send us your application by email or post, or you can drop them off in person at one of our offices or paneke.
Note: some web browsers might not show macronised words or place names correctly when you're using the dropdown menus of the forms, from within your web browser. If this happens to you, it's a good idea to download the forms to your computer or device, or use the Firefox or Safari web browsers instead, as these two do not have an issue with macronised words.
If you’re not sure which application form to complete, you can find more information about different types of applications in our Whenua section. If you’re still not sure, please contact us for assistance.
