Overseas companies

339A: Rectification or correction of name or address of person authorised to accept service

You could also call this:

“Fixing details of the NZ contact person for overseas companies”

If you’re an overseas company doing business in New Zealand, you need someone in New Zealand who can receive important papers for you. This person’s name and address might need to be fixed or changed sometimes. When this happens, the fix or change will start working right away, as soon as it’s added to the list of overseas companies. The rules for fixing or changing this information are in other parts of the law, called section 360A and section 360B.
