Change of registered office address

You must advise the Registrar of any change to the registered office address for the board within one month of the change.

To enable the Registrar to easily contact the board, it is important that you advise us of changes to the contact address or contact person.

It is FREE to file a change of registered office address for a charitable trust.

Two ways to file - online or using paper forms

Filing online

Changes to the trustees of a trust or to the trust's addresses and other organisational details can be updated online at www.societies.govt.nz.

• A website address for the charitable trust,
• A description of the charitable trust's purpose, and
• The name and contact details of trustees
  

Note | It is not mandatory to supply this information, it can be a useful way of promoting the charitable trust and providing alternative contact details that will be helpful to both the Registrar and the public.
