Confirmation of Membership
Once we’ve received the application form you’ll officially be a member of the Pirate Party of New Zealand!
After that, we will confirm your membership. This will result in an email sent to you containing a receipt, a welcome letter, and if you’re one of the first five hundred to register, then you will eventually receive a certificate acknowledging this.
Membership may be invalidated if the fee (either $10.00 or $2.00) is not received within 30 days of the signing date.
