Please
note: all drivers with a non-English language licence
must carry either an accurate English translation of this licence
or an International Driving Permit [IDP] while driving. This is
to help police determine that an overseas licence is valid, verify
the driver holds the correct class for the vehicle, and check
for any endorsements that may be attached to the licence.
The English translation referred to above must be issued by one
of the following:
* The New Zealand Translation service
* A diplomatic representative at a high commission, embassy or
consulate
* The authority that issued the overseas drivers licence
Should
you require further information regarding driving in New Zealand,
please refer to the Land Transport NZ website www.ltsa.govt.nz
