Prior to 1939, the Governor-General of New Zealand was the official representative of the British government, as well as of the Crown. Since this time a High Commissioner has represented the British government.
The British High Commissioner to New Zealand is also non-resident Governor of the Pitcairn, Henderson, Ducie and Oeno Islands. The High Commission also represents the British Overseas Territories in New Zealand.
Outside Wellington, there is also a British Consulate-General in Auckland, where the senior officer is the Consul-General.
