214: Annual return
or “Companies must provide yearly updates to the Registrar”
You could also call this:

“ Registrar can update company addresses on the register based on annual return information ”

If you send in your company’s annual return with a different address than what’s currently on the New Zealand register, the Registrar can change it. This applies to your company’s registered office address, address for service, or postal address. The Registrar can update the register to match the new address you’ve provided in your annual return.
