Notice to Persons in whom is vested Ecclesiastical Authority
over Religious Bodies.
Office of the Registrar-General,
Wellington, 28th November, 1933.
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 New Zealand.
All Congregational Independents.
Baptists.
The Lutheran Church.
All Hebrew Congregations.
The Society of Friends.
The Salvation Army.
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 recognized 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 recognized head in New Zealand of the religious
body to which he belongs; or
(b) By two duly recognized 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 signa-
tures 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.
In each case enumerated under paragraphs (a), (b), and (c)
above, the Minister of Justice must be satisfied that the body
of persons named in the certificate is a religious body, and
that the applicant is a minister of religion and is a person
of good character and otherwise qualified to act as an
Officiating Minister. In the case of the religious body known
as "Brethren" a special form of certificate will be supplied on
application.
Neglect in sending the certificate will deprive the minister
of his status as an Officiating Minister under the Marriage
Act.
A woman shall not be disqualified by reason of her sex from
being an Officiating Minister within the meaning of the
principal Act, or from having her name entered upon the
List of Officiating Ministers compiled for the purposes of that
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.)
In order to obviate the necessity for further inquiry, it is
also requested that the reason for omitting the name of any
minister be stated (such as on account of death, absence
from New Zealand, or as the case may be).
B. L. DALLARD, Registrar-General.
