Subject: Official Information request - Rules relating to the acceptance and wearing of Commonwealth, foreign and international Honours by New Zealand citizens

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I understand from Rules relating to the acceptance and wearing of Commonwealth, foreign and international Honours by New Zealand citizens

https://dpmc.govt.nz/our-programmes/new-zealand-royal-honours/new-zealand-royal-honours-system/rules-relating-to-acceptance-and-wearing

"Honours conferred by the head of a former reigning Royal House of a foreign country. No approval is required for the acceptance and wearing of an honour conferred by the head of a former reigning Royal House of a foreign country as a personal honour. Such honours are worn at the discretion of the recipient, but may not be worn on an official uniform."

Can you please confirm if this "Royal and Hashemite Order of the Pearl" fit under this requirements?  "The Royal and Hashemite Order of the Pearl is the dynastic order of the Royal House of Sulu, which serves as the premier institution and the highest personal honour of and in the Royal Sultanate of Sulu"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_and_Hashemite_Order_of_the_Pearl

Yours faithfully,

john luke
