Today I made an affirmation statement and became a New Zealand citizen.

This is the affirmation I had to give:

“I [say your name] affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles the Third, King of New Zealand, his heirs and successors according to law, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of New Zealand and fulfil my duties as a New Zealand citizen.”

Life is a long expensive journey ;)

Getting citizenship was easy as. Just did the application online and paid the fee.

Was thinking I needed to use a lawyer again, but decided against it in the end. I found the application for citizenship very straightforward.

Having a lawyer help me was a huge help when applying for my Permanent Resident Visa though.

I'd have called you a Kiwi before today as you are a contributing member of our society and understand and unhold our values in what relatively little interaction I've had with you, however, this is super cool and congrats are in order.

This is the affirmation I had to give:

“I, jarledb of the geekzone forums, affirm that..."

I hope this is how you read it out 🤣

Nothing in there about the Treaty - quite surprising these days.

Congratulations on becoming an official Kiwi. Can't have too many passports!
