"Apart from the name and accompanying logo, other parts of Coalition New Zealand's application were in order. The party can reapply for registration with a different name and logo."
Tamaki, alongside her husband Destiny Church leader Bishop Brian Tamaki, launched the party in May.
She said it was not a going to be a Christian party, but would be aimed at a "silent majority" of New Zealanders who are believed to be unhappy with where society is heading.
"Let it be clear, Coalition Party is not a Christian Party," Tamaki said at the party's launch.
Tamaki has been contacted for comment.
Jevan Goulter, campaign manager from the soon to be renamed Coalition NZ Party, said it has not affected Hannah Tamaki's decision to run in the 2020 election.
"It was such a great name we thought they might mistake our [campaigning] work for the Government and think they're doing a good job.
Goulter said they were always aware this may happen, so they "weren't unprepared".
"We're now going through the process of changing the name and getting it registered.
"We have the name that we would like in mind, but people will have to wait until we've been through the electoral commission's process."
