Processing your request

We'll send you an email when your request has been reviewed:

  • confirming if the correction has been made, or
  • advising you if we have to give public notice before the correction is made — this may happen if you've requested a correction to information on the register that was filed by another person.

Giving public notice

If public notice is required, it will be published on the Companies Office website and in the New Zealand Gazette. The correction will be processed, if no objection is received by us, within 20 working days of publishing the public notice.

If someone objects

If we receive a written objection within 20 working days of publishing the public notice, we won't be able to process the correction.

In this case we'll notify you and send you a copy of the objection. You will then have the option to consider applying to the High Court for an order under section 62 of the Limited Partnerships Act 2008. The correction will be made if the order is granted by the High Court.
