Replacement Certificate of Registry or Registration

A replacement Certificate of Registry (Part A ships) or Certificate of Registration (Part B ships) can be issued where the original certificate is lost, mislaid, or destroyed.

A ship owner who needs a replacement Certificate needs to send Maritime New Zealand’s Register of Ships the following:

• a completed Application for new Certificate of Registry/Certificate of Registration (form SR26)
• a fee of NZ$203.00.

Application for new Certificate of Registry/Certificate of Registration (form SR26) [PDF: 92Kb, 1 page]

Full details of the circumstances of the loss of the original certificate must be given in the application form.

If the original certificate is found after a replacement has been issued, the original must be returned to the Registrar of Ships for cancellation.
