How do I check if a company is registered in New Zealand?

Updated 2026-06

Look up the company by its legal name or NZBN. The public record shows whether the company is currently registered and its status. Checkbase brings this together in one report so you do not have to search several places.

Key facts

  • Registration status is part of the public record.
  • Search by legal name or NZBN for the most reliable result.
  • A trading name alone may not be enough to find the right entity.
