Director Search

— filed under: ,

 

Using the Director Search tool you can determine whether an individual is, or has been, a director of a company.

 

Step-by-step instructions

There are two options available to you for conducting a Director Search

 

1. Quick search  

Use the Quick Search option to view instant results on screen or for a broad search before refining your search criteria for a Standard Search.

Use the filtering option under Quick Search to search by the name of a current director, former director or both.  Where a company has been removed from the Register (struck off) it will not be included in the results list.  It is not possible to print the search results in the Quick Search results box.

 

2. Standard search

Use the Standard Search option to receive a report by e-mail.  Other features of this option include the ability to customise your search by specifying officer status (for example, resigned), body type (to select New Zealand Companies, Overseas Companies or both) and body status (for example, liquidation, registered, etc).  Check the current settings to ensure you receive the information that you require.

Note | You will need to have Adobe Acrobat Reader software installed to view or print the search report sent via email.
