When I did my change of address in Dec 2017, I discovered it was now online via the NZ Post website. Did the online notification as required and waited for 3 months because of the holidays and still no contact. Went into the cop-shop with the missus as she was applying for her FAL and said to the AO, hey we've just moved and did the change of address on the website. Do you know when you will contact me for a re-inspection? Quote - I didn't want dawn raids at my house just because I'm endorsed and they assumed I was doing the shady by not telling them of the change of address. End quote. AO was not surprised and said there were issues with the transfer of submissions from NZ Post website but thanked me for coming in and noted on the FAL application form to do a re-inspection too. It took another 2 months after that for a re-inspection.
Overall I figured it was easier to contact my AO before facing the muzzle end of a bushmaster/glock and not during.
