Note
If an application for incorporation of a company specifies a name that does not meet the requirements of the Act, the Registrar will incorporate the company with a name in the form “Company number x Limited”, where “x” is a unique number assigned to the company by the Registrar for this purpose.
Submit your application
Documents lodged for registration (Application form and Consent of Director/s form/s) must be delivered to the Registrar of Companies together with the payment of the appropriate fees and a copy of the rules of the company, if they differ from the model rules. Documents can be delivered by hand during normal business hours or through the post to the following address:
Registrar of Companies
Treasury Department
Niue Public Services
PO Box 36
Utuko
Alofi
Niue
Once all of these steps have been completed you will be sent a Certificate of Incorporation and the company is entered on the Register of Companies.
Company names
A company name may be entered on the register unless it comes within any one of four categories of names that must not be entered on the register.
After incorporation
After incorporation, director's obligations to the Companies Office are few and simple to meet. Directors have a responsibility to file annual returns in June and update the Companies Office with changes to the company details.
