Haha in NZ you get a message from all sorts, king, prime minister, minister for seniors, local MP, amd for many places, the mayor of where you live.
The list is here on the page about applying under “Who the messages are from”. You do have to apply (normally a family member will apply on their behalf), the king doesn’t magically know where you live 100 years after you were born.
In NZ you could get a Queen letter too (now it’s from the king). I wonder if it’s available across the Commonwealth.
Canada used to have the same thing, we might still.
My first job was working with dementia patients and we had a couple century birthdays. It was pretty neat.
When my nan turned 100 in Australia she got a horny post card from Temu Voldemort Peter Dutton
