35: Application for maritime document

You could also call this:

"How to apply for a maritime document in New Zealand"

When you want to get a maritime document, you must apply to the Director using a special form. If there is no special form, you use the form the Director says you must use. You must include your address in New Zealand where you can be contacted, and also your phone and fax numbers if you have them.

You have to keep your contact information up to date by telling the Director if anything changes. The Director keeps a record of all the information you provide at the Maritime Registry.

If the Director needs to send you a notification, they will send it to the address you last gave them, and this will be considered a valid way of contacting you, as seen in the Maritime Transport Act 1994 and related laws such as s 8 and s 5.
