How to change a registered owner’s address – Part B ship registration

If you change the address on your Part B certificate of registration, you must notify the Registrar of Ships at Maritime NZ as soon as possible.

This is not the same as registering a new owner. A new owner would need a new Part B registration.

What you need to do

To change the address of a registered owner in the New Zealand Register of Ships, you must:

  • tell the Registrar of Ships your new address (you can do this by email or letter)
  • tell the Registrar of Ships the address you want us to send the new certificate of registration to (you can do this by email or letter)
  • send Maritime NZ evidence of your change of address if requested.

Once we receive and process your change of address, we will:

  • update your address in the Register, and
  • send your new certificate of registration to you by courier,

There is no fee for changing your address in the Register.
