Chapman Tripp is pursuing the right for directors to
maintain privacy over their home address within the proposed
Director Identification Number (DIN) regime.
In our recent
submission, we argue for the Ministry of Business, Innovation
and Employment's Option 2, which would allow an address for
service to be provided instead.
Our strong view is that the DIN will provide a robust form of
identity verification, reducing the need for other verifiers and
that the protection offered by non-disclosure of residential
information, especially where personal safety may be at risk,
outweighs any competing considerations.
