Department of Internal Affairs (New Zealand)
The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) (Internal Affairs) (Māori: ''Te Tari Taiwhenua'') is the public service department of New Zealand charged with issuing passports; administering applications for citizenship and lottery grants; enforcing censorship and gambling laws; registering births, deaths, marriages and civil unions; supplying support services to Ministers of the Crown; and advising the government on a range of relevant policies and issues, part of a number of functions performed by Internal Affairs.
Other services provided by the Department include a translation service, publication of the New Zealand Gazette (the official newspaper of the New Zealand Government), a flag hire service, management of VIP visits to New Zealand, running the Lake Taupo harbourmaster's office (under a special agreement with the local iwi) and the administration of offshore islands.
On 25 March 2010, the former Minister of State Services Tony Ryall announced that Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand would be merged into the Department.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=beehive.govt.nz - State sector changes to improve performance )〕 Library and Archives stakeholders have expressed serious concerns about the changes proposed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Underpinning democracy: the future of Archives New Zealand : Press release )〕 During the late 1990s both the Library and Archives were separated from the Department along with the Ministry for Culture and Heritage.
==History==
The Department of Internal Affairs traces its roots back to the Colonial Secretary's Office, which from the time New Zealand became a British colony, in 1840, was responsible for almost all central Government duties. The Department was the fist government department to be established in New Zealand. Many of these responsibilities were lost as new departments and ministries were formed. The office's name was changed to the Department of Internal Affairs in 1907, and it became the home for a diverse range of government functions providing services to New Zealanders and advice to Ministers of the Crown. This role continues to the present day, as new roles and functions have come into the Department and others have been transferred elsewhere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.dia.govt.nz/About-Internal-Affairs---Department-structure---History-of-the-Department )〕
