On 18 July 2005 the Federation changed its formal name and Incorporated Society name to the New Zealand Kung-Fu Wushu Federation and has maintained its Incorporated status since.

The Federation’s Incorporated Society Number is 642258.
Reregistration - Incorporated Societies Act 2022 (2022 Act): It was agreed at the Federation’s 2024 AGM to consider (during 2025) whether being an Incorporated Society remains the appropriate structure for the Federation, or whether a Registered Charity or Charitable Trust might be more suitable. If a decision is made to remain an Incorporated Society, the Federation will make appropriate changes to its Society’s Constitution (to be approved at a SGM before 30 June 2025) to comply with the requirements to reregister our society under the new provisions of the 2022 Act. The deadline for doing this is before 5 April 2026.
