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). This application fee includes your first restricted licence test, and a second test if you need it. You may need to pay to change or cancel your test.
