Beware of scammers selling driver licences online or through social media.
How to tell it's not a genuine driver licence
- You can't apply for a driver licence online. You must go to one of our driver licensing agents in person.
- Approved agents are the Automobile Association (AA) and Vehicle Testing New Zealand (VTNZ). You should only be applying for a driver licence through those organisations.
- The only exception to these rules is that you might be able to apply for a replacement driver licence card online, if you already had one and it’s lost or stolen. The genuine transaction is through our online.nzta.govt.nz website. You have to log in with a RealMe verified identity.
Reminders
- Don’t give your personal or payment details to anyone appearing to sell driver licences online.
- Please report any suspicious social media activity through the social media platform.
