Replacement Certificate
A replacement Certificate of Registry (Part A ships) or Certificate of Registration (Part B ships) can be issued where the original certificate is lost, mislaid, or destroyed.

Required Documents:

 
  • Application for New Certificate of Registry/Certificate of Registration form (SR26).
  • Fee of $146.
Full details of the circumstances of the loss of the original Certificate must be given in the application form.

If the original Certificate is found after a replacement has been issued, the original must be returned to the Registrar for cancellation.



Changing a ship's name or port of registry
The name of a ship registered in Part B of the Register can be changed without the registration terminating.

The markings on the ship must not be changed until the Registrar has formally approved the new name.

Required Documents:
  • Application for Change of Name form SR6.
  • Ship's Certificate of Registration.
  • Fee of $86.


Change owner's address

Although a Part B registration lasts only five years, the Registrar should be advised of any address change within a five year period of registration.

Required Documents:
  • Written notice from the registered owner/s of his/her/its new address. There is no prescribed form; a letter signed by the registered owner/s is sufficient.
    Where the registered owner is an individual/s, a street address is required for entry in the Register.
    Where the registered owner is a body corporate (company), its registered office address recorded at the Companies Office is required, and the notice must be signed by a Director of the body corporate.
    Postal box numbers, email addresses and telephone numbers may also be supplied for Maritime NZ's database, but only the street address will be entered in the Register.
  • For a body corporate, evidence relating to the change of address, eg a Companies Office search showing the current registered office address.
  • Ship's Certificate of Registration.


Termination of registration
A Part B registration terminates if
  • the ship is sold; or
  • the ownership changes other than by way of a sale; or
  • the description of the ship changes (e.g from pleasure to commercial).
To enable the Registrar to record the termination of the registration in the Register, the registered owner must
  • notify the Registrar of the sale or change; and
  • return the Certificate of Registration for cancellation.
