Naming New Zealand

Naming New Zealand is an initiative to help queer, gender diverse, takatāpui and intersex young people with updating their identity documents to correctly reflect their identities. We provide resources about the process of correcting identity documents within New Zealand, connect young people with organisations that can help, and assist with the costs of making these important changes.
