Change of Limited Partnership addresses

A range of information is held for each Limited Partnership.  Included are a number of addresses - registered office address, address for service, postal and email addresses.  As these details change, the changes must also be recorded on the Register.  These changes may be made at any time and are not restricted to when the Limited Partnership files an annual return:

• Changes to registered office address and address for service must be updated at least five working days before the address change takes effect.
• Changes to other addresses should be updated as soon as possible.
• All addresses, except for the postal, must be a physical address in New Zealand ie cannot be a Private Bag, DX or a 'virtual office' (that is a mail or message collection point).

A Limited Partnership may apply to the Registrar to change its address by completing a prescribed form (Form 6 Change of Limited Partnership addresses) and sending it to:

Companies Office
Northern Business Centre
Private Bag 92061
Victoria Street West
Auckland 1142

The form requires the following information to be given:

• The name of the Limited Partnership and registration number
• The details of the change
• The date of change
• Full name, postal address, email address, telephone number and facsimile of the presenter.

The form must be signed by or on behalf of the Limited Partnership.

Does the address have to be a physical address?

The registered office address and address for service must be physical addresses in New Zealand ie cannot be a Private Bag, DX or a 'virtual office' (that is a mail or message collection point).  If the registered office and address for service is at the offices of any firm of chartered accountants or lawyers, or at the offices of any other person then full particulars are required e.g. name of firm including any particulars of the location in any building.

The postal address may be either a postal address or residential address.

Note

The registered office and address for service address types may be the same address.
