第24條 合資格人士申請登記其指定性別

- (i) 其監護人的書面同意書;或者
- (ii) 一封來自具適當資格之第三方的支持信,該信函必須確認該第三方相信:
- (A) 該名16或17歲的合資格人士了解擬議之指定性別登記可能產生的後果;並且

詞彙說明:
- statutory declaration (法定聲明書):在台灣法律語境中,類似於「宣誓書」或「具結書」,但此處強調其法律效力與在特定法律程序中的用途,故譯為「法定聲明書」。
- civil union (同性伴侶關係):雖然紐西蘭的 civil union 制度不限於同性,但考量台灣語境對「civil union」常見的理解,特別註明其廣義也包含同性關係,以避免誤解。若要更精確且通用,亦可譯為「民事結合」。
- de facto relationship (同居關係):指未經法律婚姻登記,但事實上以夫妻之形式共同生活的關係。
- Registrar-General (總登記官):負責管理出生、死亡、婚姻等紀錄的官方職位。
- prescribed fee (規定的費用):指法律或規章中明訂的應繳納費用。
