Driver licence services at the AA
We can help you with all your driver licensing needs.
You can renew your licence or apply to replace a lost licence at your local AA Driver Licensing outlets. You need to renew your photo driver licence every ten years, on or before the expiry date. NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi will send you a renewal notice before it expires.
If you have a driver licence from another country, you can apply for a New Zealand driver licence. You can now book for your Overseas conversion appointment online.
The AA is the only place to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) for a New Zealand driver licence. You can apply online or in person at an AA Driver Licensing outlet.
The AA is contracted by NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi to provide driver licence services at AA Driver Licensing outlets around New Zealand.

- Pay driver licensing fees
- Book and pay for all driver licence tests
- Complete the learner licence test

If you don't pass, you may need to wait a while to get another slot. If you get a test booking and can't use it, please make sure you cancel. Even an hour's notice will mean someone else can use the slot.
To help you prepare for your driver licence tests, please see the resources and training offered by AA Driving School.
If you are booking a driver licence test, please make sure you're prepared for your test.
Information about driver licences
Your New Zealand driver licence verifies who you are, states the vehicles you can drive and lists any conditions you're required to meet when driving. Your photo driver licence is your official legal permission to drive on New Zealand roads.
