Register Online
To make it easier to register with Rongowhakaata you now have an online registration option here.
The Iwi Register is a listing of Iwi members who affiliate to Rongowhakaata. If you are 18 years and over, being a registered iwi member entitles you to participate in voting processes, to be nominated for election to iwi positions, and to receive communication on what the Trust is doing on your behalf. The register is an important database of information about the iwi and it is useful for the projection of future needs and strategic planning. All Iwi members are encouraged to register themselves and their children to become eligible beneficiaries. Parents or guardians may sign on behalf of those under 18 years.
If you prefer you can still print out and fill in the registration form and send in.
If you have any other questions or need help with your registration, please email us or call 0-800-RONGOWHAKAATA.
