Search and inspect New Zealand Companies Register records through read-only public website endpoints. Use when the task involves NZ company lookup by name, company number, or NZBN; company status, incorporation date, entity type; director names and appointment dates; shareholder allocations and percentages; registered addresses; filing history and public documents; or any company governance data not covered by the NZBN Register skill. No login, API key, or account required. Read-only.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Companies Office NZ

## Goal

Query rich public Companies Register data through a deterministic no-login Python CLI. Covers company identity, registered addresses, current and historical directors, shareholder allocations, and the complete filing/document history.

## Use this when

- A user asks to find an NZ company by name, number, or NZBN
- A workflow needs director names, appointment dates, or residential cities
- A user wants shareholder allocations and ownership percentages
- A workflow needs the full filing history or document list for a company
- A user asks about a company's registered office, address for service, or contact details from the register
- A task requires company number, incorporation date, status, or entity type

## Do not use this for

- Private or suppressed register data
- Authenticated actions: director appointments, shareholder updates, annual return filing
- Paid company extract purchase (CompanyExtract fee document)
- PPSR / Personal Property Securities Register — this is a separate register at ppsr.companiesoffice.govt.nz
- GST numbers, industry classifications, trading names, or Australian Business Numbers — use `nzbn-register` for these

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/companies-office-nz@sha256:c5d914eac77d52f5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
