“How a company is officially removed from the New Zealand register”

When a company is taken off the New Zealand register, it happens in a specific way. The Registrar, who is in charge of keeping track of companies, writes and signs a notice. This notice says that the company is being removed from the New Zealand register. The company is officially removed when this notice is registered under the Companies Act 1993. This means the notice is officially recorded and becomes part of the legal records.
