Williams covered up the BNZ logo on his blues jersey in their match against the Highlanders last weekend due to religious beliefs.
NZR and the Blues have now given him permission have the logos of two banks, BNZ and Investec, removed from his kit.
NZR general manager rugby, Neil Sorensen, says there is a conscientious objection clause in the player's contract so that's been invoked.
Mr Sorensen told Morning Report "It's a common sense decision on our part."
