| has gloss | eng: The purpose of the Oath of Citizenship, as opposed to the Oath of Allegiance, is for new New Zealand citizens to pledge their loyalty not only to the New Zealand Sovereign, Queen Elizabeth II, as the personification of the State and the personal symbol of allegiance, but also to the laws and customs of their new country. The Oath, recited by citizenship recipients in New Zealand, is as follows: | class="toccolours" style="margin-left: 2em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; margin-right: 10em; background:#D0F0C0; color:black; max-width: 100%;" cellspacing="5" | style="text-align: left;" | :"I [name] swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of New Zealand, Her heirs and successors according to law, and that I will faithfully observe the laws of New Zealand and fulfil my duties as a New Zealand citizen. |
