Can I get an exemption from licensing?
Yes. Anyone who won't be using their motor vehicle on the road for a continuous period of at least three months should apply for an exemption, or arrange for someone to do it on their behalf. (Note that an exemption period can be for no more than 12 months, but you can apply for consecutive exemptions.)
Exemptions must be applied for in advance. They take effect from when your current licence (or existing exemption) expires. If the motor vehicle isn't licensed, the exemption will start from the application date.
Fill out an Exemption application form (MR24), available from the NZTA agents.
Before the exemption can be processed, you'll have to pay any outstanding fees.
Alternatively, it's quick and easy to apply for an exemption online at the NZTA's Transaction Centre. You'll need your driver licence, plate number and credit card.
When the exemption expires, you'll need to either relicense the motor vehicle or apply for another exemption. If you don't do this, you'll be sent the reminder notices listed earlier in this factsheet.
There is a minimum of three months for an exemption period. If you license your motor vehicle within the first three months of your exemption period, the licence will backdate to the expiry date of the previous licence, exemption, or change of ownership, whichever is the most recent.作者: 抓狗 时间: 2009-7-15 00:45:55
