New Zealand proposes requiring companies to list directors’ alternative addresses to boost privacy and safety.
New Zealand’s Companies (Address Information) Amendment Bill, under review in October 2025, amends Section 159 to require companies to record and update directors’ alternative addresses alongside residential ones.
The change aims to enhance privacy and safety by reducing public access to personal home addresses, minimizing risks of harassment or disruptions.
Lawmakers questioned why Section 159 was targeted over other provisions, whether alternative addresses are mandatory, and how companies will manage the added administrative burden.
Concerns were raised about tracking updates, distinguishing address types, and ensuring accurate public records.
The debate underscores efforts to balance privacy, transparency, and regulatory efficiency in corporate governance.
Nueva Zelanda propone que se exija a las empresas que enumeren las direcciones alternativas de los directores para aumentar la privacidad y la seguridad.
