You can do this if you are the person the inquiry is about. You can also apply if you are related to the person the inquiry is about. This includes the New Zealand Law Society if the person is a lawyer. It also includes the New Zealand Society of Conveyancers if the person is a conveyancing practitioner. You make this application under section 193.
