Apply for your licence

Before you sit your test, you’ll need to visit a licensing agent to fill out and complete a driver licence application form. You can download the application form beforehand, or grab one when you get there.

Driver licence application form

You’ll also need to:

  • Show evidence of your identity (this will be your New Zealand learner licence, unless you’ve lost it and haven’t received your replacement yet)
    Identification for driver licensing information
  • Do a quick eyesight test (bring your glasses or contact lenses if you normally wear them)
  • Have your photograph taken again
  • Provide a signature
  • Pay the restricted licence application fee of $167.50 (unless you already paid when you booked the test online). You only need to pay this fee once. It’s free to change or cancel your test if you need to.
