“How the Registrar removes a company from the New Zealand register”

When the Registrar gets a correctly filled out application to remove a company from the New Zealand register, as described in section 351, they must remove the company right away.

A company is officially removed from the New Zealand register when the Registrar signs a notice saying the company has been removed. This notice is then registered under the Companies Act.
