	Court Schedule restrictions apply (AA231and AA886).

	1.  For criminal records, access restrictions may apply to both record lists and the records themselves.

	In general, records containing information relating to criminal matters will no longer be restricted after 100 years has passed since the date of last action on the record. However, some records, or parts of records, may be sealed or restricted for longer periods by a court order.

	Access to criminal records less than 100 years old may be subject to restrictions. Such restrictions would be applied to ensure compliance with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1993 and/or the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004, as well as other legislation which controls access to court records.

	2.  Dissolution of Marriage or Civil Union Records

	Under both High Court Rules and Family Court Rules, former parties to a marriage or a civil union have an unrestricted right to obtain a copy of the order dissolving the marriage or civil union. These dissolution orders can be viewed at, or copies obtained from Archives New Zealand on production of sufficient proof of identity (photo identification e.g. passport/drivers’ license).

	For all other Divorce case files requiring access:

	Restricted 100 years from last date on file. Requests for access should be directed to the Wellington High Court.
