What you need to do when renewing or replacing your New Zealand driver licence
We can help you with all your driver licensing needs.
The AA is contracted by Waka Kotahi NZTA to provide driver licence services at AA Licensing Agents around New Zealand. Learn more about the services we offer:
Come to your local AA Licensing Agent for all your driver licence needs. At your local AA Licensing Agent you can also:
- Pay all driver licensing fees
- Book and pay for all driver licence tests
- Do the learner licence test
- Have your driver licence photo and signature taken
- Do identity verification for IRD Numbers and RealMe
If you are booking a driver licence test, please make sure you're prepared for your test.
Wait times for driver licence tests have increased since Waka Kotahi NZTA changed the fees, so make sure you prepare well for your driver 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.
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.
