The New Zealand Companies Office is responsible for administering a number of New Zealand's statutory registers. Each of our larger registers has a dedicated presence here on our website.
For the smaller statutory registers or bodies we record their details on our Special and Other Bodies Register that is also available for the public to view.
What information is publicly available
How much information we can add to the public register for each body varies depending on the legislation that applies.
For most bodies, you will be able to see their registration details. This includes their:
- registered name
- registration number
- New Zealand Business Number (NZBN)
- date of incorporation or registration
- status, and
- registered office address.
In a few cases, we also record other information (but only where the relevant legislation requires that information to be held on a public register).
You can search our Special and Other Bodies Register for free, online.
