A NZ citizen is a person who has a NZ citizenship and they can stand for parliment, and you can be the captain of the All Blacks.
There are three ways of becoming a NZ citizen.
If you were born in NZ you are a NZ citizen by birth.
If your Mum or Dad was born in NZ you are a NZ by descent.
The final one is by grant. Grant means be a permanent resident for five years. Then fill out a application form. Then you go to a ceremony and get your certificate and plant and you hold the Bible or the Koran. When you swear your oath or you can say a affirmation of allegiance and that is different because you don't hold the Bible. Then they call out your name and give you your certificate and plant.
