Notice to Persons in whom is vested Ecclesiastical Authority
over Religious Bodies.

Registrar-General’s Office,
Wellington, 17th November, 1909.

THE attention of the persons or person within the
Dominion of New Zealand in whom is vested ecclesi-
astical authority over any of the religious bodies enumerated
in the Third Schedule annexed to an Act of the General
Assembly of New Zealand intituled “The Marriage Act,
1908,” and of all other persons concerned, is directed to the
11th section of the above-mentioned Act, requiring the
several ecclesiastical authorities as aforesaid to send in to
the Registrar-General, in the month of December in every
year, a correct list of their Officiating Ministers within the
meaning of “The Marriage Act, 1908,” of each of the said
religious bodies.

The following are the religious bodies above referred to:—
The Church of the Province of New Zealand, commonly
called the Church of England.
The Presbyterian Church of New Zealand.
The Roman Catholic Church.
The Methodist Church of Australasia in New Zealand.
All Congregational Independents.
Baptists.
The Primitive Methodist Connexion.
The Lutheran Church.
All Hebrew Congregations.
The Society of Friends.

In default of any person having ecclesiastical authority
over any of the religious bodies named above, the name of
the Officiating Minister of any congregation of such religious
body may be certified to by two recognised office-bearers
thereof.

A minister of religion not connected with any of the afore-
said bodies must send to the Registrar-General in the month
of December in each year a certificate signed—
(a.) By the recognised head in New Zealand of the
religious body to which he belongs, or
(b.) By two duly recognised ministers of such religious
body, or
(c.) By ten adult members thereof, who append to
their signatures their description as being such
members, declaring that such minister is their
Officiating Minister, the said signatures and
descriptions being attested by some person who
shall verify the signatures to the certificate as
the genuine signatures of the persons whose they
purport to be, by a statutory declaration signed
by such person and appended to the certificate.

Neglect in sending the certificate will deprive the minister
of his status as an Officiating Minister under the Marriage
Act.

N.B.—It is requested that the Christian names and the
addresses of the several ministers may be specified in the
lists sent in to the Registrar-General.
