Information on New Zealand driver licences

To find out what to do if :

  • you still have an older style licence;
  • you need to replace a lost or stolen New Zealand driver licence while you are overseas;
  • you need to obtain a Certificate of Particulars (this proves you are a licenced New Zealand driver and comes with a letter explaining legislative requirements);
  • you need to obtain an International Driving Permit;

please read Overseas Travel by New Zealand Driver Licence Holders : Factsheet 65.
