How are New Zealand movers regulated

Christchurch moving companies that do relocations in New Zealand don't need to have any licenses and aren't regulated, but if you want to find a professional mover that is safe to use, check if they are legally registered as a business.

Choose a mover from our exhaustive list of reviewed Christchurch moving companies and then you can check if they are registered as a legitimate business at the New Zealand Companies Register.

How to find a reputable Christchurch moving company?

If you want to find a trustworthy New Zealand mover that won't scam you, you have to check if that Christchurch moving company is a member of one of the Removal industry trade associations or trade bodies.

If they are registered in one of those organizations, they need to adhere to certain standards of operation. Here is a list of some of those international organizations:

  • NZOMA - New Zealand Overseas Movers Association
  • FIDI - The International Federation Of International Movers
  • IAM - International Movers Association

So now when you pick a mover from our comprehensive list of reviewed New Zealand moving companies, you can find out if this mover is a member of those organizations.
