Getting your full driver licence
The New Zealand full driver licence
A full driver licence is the final step in New Zealand's three-step driver licensing system. It includes a practical in-car driving test.
The full driver licence test takes around one hour. The car you use for the test must have a current Warrant of Fitness, car registration and working brake and indicator lights.
Eligibility to sit full driver licence test
If under 25 years old you must have held your restricted driver licence for:
Take proof of address, e.g. an original bank statement which is less than 12 months old
Pay the $136.20 fee (需要核对,这是以前的价钱好像。)
Pass an eyesight screening check
Have your photograph taken - allow for queuing during busy times, such as lunch time.
After the full driver licence test
If you pass your full driver licence test, you can drive at any time during the day or night and drive with passengers in the car.
If you don't pass your full driver licence test you can resit the test (unlimited number of times). You will need to bring proof of identity and pay the $86.60 test fee for each full licence test resit.
