Changes of address should be notified to the Registrar of Companies within 20 working days of the company becoming aware of the change. 
 

Step 1 | Update address

From the Directors tab select Update Details (located on the right hand side of the director for which you want to make changes).

To amend or change the address of a director select the Change button on the right hand side of the existing address.  The current address will be displayed, make any required amendments or delete the details and enter a new address.

• A director's address must be a physical address where they usually reside and cannot be postal addresses such as a P O Box, Private Bag or DX.
• The system will check the addresses used to ensure they match an address recorded on the NZ Post database.  If the address you want to enter is not yet included in that database you will have the option of entering it manually.
• You will be required to provide a date on which the address change occurred, the date of change cannot be a date in the future, the change of address must already have happened.

Select Use this Address to continue.

Step 2 | Update email address and phone numbers

You also have the option of updating the email address ¹ and phone numbers for the director, make any required changes and select the Submit button.

Check the proposed changes in the 'Review and Submit' screen.

• Any errors can be corrected by selecting the Cancel button, this will return you to the previous page.
• If you are happy with the proposed changes select the Submit button.
   

Notes 

¹ The email address field is optional.  When completed, the details will not appear on the companies register, the address will only be used by the Companies Office to send certain communications (for example, sending information relating to filing an annual return).
