Petition request
That the House of Representatives pass legislation requiring a referendum, to be held during the term of the current Government, on whether the official name of New Zealand should change to include the name Aotearoa.
Petition reason
Official documents of national identity, birth & citizenship certificates, passports and money-notes have Aotearoa and New Zealand together as the names of the country. Only 'New Zealand' has official status. Both names together will officially confirm/enhance nationhood and uniqueness in the world.
