Using the Disclose Register
You'll need a RealMe® login, an online services account, and authority to act
You don't need to log in to browse and search the Disclose Register, but to register and maintain an offer or scheme your organisation must have an online services account. That account will also need to have authority to act on behalf of the issuer or manager of the offer or scheme.
1. Ensuring you have a RealMe® login
To log in to the Disclose Register you need a RealMe® login, if you don't already have one. You don’t need to log in to search the Disclose Register.
2. Setting up your organisation's online services account
When you set up an online services account on behalf of your organisation, you're granted administrator rights by default. Account administrators can:
- maintain the organisation's account
- add and delete other account users
- maintain details of other account users
- re-send activation codes.
Set up your organisation's online services account
Once you've logged in to the Disclose Register with RealMe®, you'll be taken to a screen where you can finish setting up your organisation's online services account. To do this:
- Fill in your work contact details when prompted and select Next.
- Fill in your organisation's details when prompted and select Create organisation.
After you've set up your new organisation account, you'll be able to view your organisation's account dashboard. The dashboard shows your offer and scheme registrations and compliance obligations.
To maintain your organisation account information select the Manage organisation option under the My tools drop-down menu, and then select the Maintain organisation tab.
Requesting authority for your organisation
To register and maintain offers and schemes on the Disclose Register, your organisation must have a authority from the issuer or manager of the offer or scheme.
Authority requests require approval from us, so you'll need to make sure you request authority before you need to register or maintain your offers or schemes.
The acceptance process
All requests for authority require acceptance by us.
We may accept, request more information or reject the authority request.
If a correctly completed request is received by us before 3pm NZT (working days), you should receive our decision the same day you request authority. We recommend you do this well in advance of your intention to register an offer or scheme.
When your authority request has been processed, we'll email you. If approved, all users within your organisation account will be able to register and maintain offers and schemes for that issuer or manager.
Revoke authority
Authority to act for an issuer or manager remains in place until it's revoked. If your organisation is no longer acting for an issuer or manager, you'll need to revoke your authority. Issuers and managers can also revoke the authority of others to act on their behalf.
To revoke authority complete a Letter of Revocation of Authorisation and email it to us.
Email: disclose@companies.govt.nz
Once your revocation request is accepted by us, your organisation's Disclose Register account will be updated.
Disclose Register fees and levies
There are no joining or maintenance fees for having an online services account and you'll only be charged for services that you use that have a fee attached, for example, registering a scheme or offer.
