67: Registered office

You could also call this:

"A limited partnership's main office address in New Zealand that you can find on the register."

Illustration for Limited Partnerships Act 2008

A limited partnership must have a registered office in New Zealand. You can find the address of the registered office in the New Zealand register. The address must include details like the street address and any other important information.

If the registered office is in a building with other offices, the address must say whose offices it is in. You also need to include details about where the office is in the building. This helps people find the office easily.

The registered office can be in a building with other people, but not necessarily in an office. In this case, you need to include details about where it is in the building, so people can find it. This is according to the rules, which you can read more about in section 68.
