Companies Office New Zealand

What we know about this broker

Companies Office NZ is a government statutory register administered by MBIE (Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment). It holds public company officer records including director names, residential addresses, and shareholdings. Full deletion from the public register is generally not available as this is a statutory register; available remedies are suppression and withholding. Two suppression pathways confirmed as of 2026-06-16: (1) Address suppression under the Family Violence Act 2018 (Part 9): requires a NZ Family Court protection order; submit PDF application form + copy of order to [email protected]. Decision within 10 working days. (2) Withholding under public interest / privacy-safety grounds: email [email protected] with a letter specifying information to withhold and a statutory declaration explaining why public access would prejudice privacy or personal safety. Statutory declaration required when personal information (e.g. officer name) is sought to be withheld. General privacy access / correction requests go to Privacy Officer, Companies Office, Private Bag 92061, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142 (postal only; no privacy officer email is publicly listed). Because records are a statutory public register, rescan of suppression is manual — tier 3. Authorized agent requests accepted with written authority. Legal basis: NZ Privacy Act 2020 s22–28 (access/correction) and Family Violence Act 2018 Part 9 (suppression).
