Yeh you have to create a Nz post acc, doesn’t cost or anything and you just select the organisations you wish to inform, did mine 6weeks ago and haven’t heard anything back
Prior to being relocated from Jaffasville to Wanganui, I completed NZ Post's form which advisedall three Government organisations /whatever of my new address. N Z Post, the Electoral office and NZ Police.
Probably, not surprisingly, the only one of those three who reacted by recognising and using my new address was the Electoral office.
NZ Post failed to deliver my mail and argued endlessly as to my rural delivery being either notified or correct.
Constable Plod never responded in any way and when I approached them asking when they were going to call and check storage of the goodies, denied ever having received any advice of my relocation.
SO.............I advise ignoring NZ post's change of address forms / procedures completely and going directly to Plod and telling him yourself.
Yeah it does seem a bit strange at first going through NZ Post ,but did the same thing when I returned from living in WA.
I was expecting the police to come round and have a look at my security arrangements but no it was some weeks later I got a call from local arms officer who asked me how I was storing my firearms, I said I have bought a gun safe and bolted it into a cupboard and apart from a few other questions about keeping bolts and ammo stored separately that was it.
Have not seen or heard from them since and that was November 2017.
Cheers guys just done it, why it doesnt take you straight to the source i dont know, seems like a long process to tell one org you have moved. Kept email incase anyhow.
Personally I wouldn't go via NZPost or any other outfit, as that's another group of people who would then know there's firearms at my address, and I'm a bit funny about that.

phone it in or email direct
Yes also found it to be a pain, between Canterbury police FAO not being interested, NZ post unhelpful logging in referring me on to real me who couldn't see why NZ post couldn't help me. No email for police except for tickets or payments, got cut off phoning the non-emergency number so ended up complaining about police to police but will probably not get any response from there either. Almost an hour wasted, just saw this post and contact details above, why couldn't the police make it that easy.
Just a side note from experience in the UK, this might become relevant in NZ.
I don’t email or phone in any details in regards to a change on my licenses. I send recorded post that needs to be signed at the other end. I take photos of all corespondents and keep all postage receipts to show details that I’ve sent it and that they have received it!
We know that it’s a human system and can and dose fail. (This is why they ditched the gun register the first time around)
Emails can be deleted and lost. They can even say hey we didn’t receive it even though you know you sent it. Phone calls sorry when did you call, who are you? NO don’t remember that one!
From the way this is going take my advice and cover your ass. Go recorded delivery. Might just save you a whole load of hassle further down the line.
Ps someone more computer savvy than me might have a system that shows if they have received an email....but it doesn’t stop them from deleting it.
Have a paper trail it’s much better imo
That only works if the courier actually gets a signature. Virtually all the time they just scribble on it themselves
I used the online change of address. Took about 5 months before they checked the safe
My take on what Sideshow has written is that we should use 'Registered Post' ( 'Recorded' in UK ) This cannot be delivered without the signature of the named recipient. The other way is to take two copies of a letter to the local Police station and get both signed and date stamped along with the officers ID. Keep one copyQuote:

As Moa hunter says.
Looks like you don’t have this system....shame keeps them honest as you have that they have received it.
So maybe as Hunter says.
Thst was quick. Took 18 months and reminders from me.Quote:

It was a surprise and a relief when they rang to sort a time.
They guy doing the vetting said ot was all because of the changes made last year. Basically admitted PHQ had fucked up big time.

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.
