NZTA Waka Kotahi app

We’ve developed a mobile app to provide a digital platform with simple and secure ways for New Zealanders to access their licence and vehicle information, as well as make payments, with more capabilities to be added in the future.

You can download the NZTA App for free from the Google Play store and Apple App Store.

While the app shows driver licence information, the NZTA app is not a replacement of your current licence. You must always have your driver licence with you when driving.

Features

Driver licence details

This will show you some details that would appear on your physical licence plus:

  • licence status
  • licence conditions
  • demerit point balance (only visible through RealMe verified log in).

It will not show:

  • photo
  • date of birth.

However, you are able to request a Certificate of Particulars that will be emailed to you.

Note: This is not a valid licence or form of ID and should not be mistaken for one. You must always have your driver licence with you when you drive. We’re working with the Ministry of Transport to understand what would be needed to enable digital drivers licences.

Vehicle details

You can add up to ten vehicles, and will be able to see:

  • year
  • make and model
  • registration expiry date
    • (with link to web page to pay when it is due, or put on hold)
  • WoF expiry date
  • road user charges – end distance
    • (with link to web page to buy more).

Vehicles will now be saved between ‘login’ sessions, so you no longer need to add them again.

Language options

The app is available in English and Te Reo Maori. You can select the language in the app, just go to Profile > Settings > Language to choose.
