A well-prepared appointment saves time and avoids the need for a second visit.

Before your appointment

  • Check the exact document list on the Waka Kotahi or AA website for your situation
  • Prepare all documents as originals and copies
  • Note down any questions in advance

At the appointment

Arrive on time and bring a folder with your documents organised so they can be presented clearly.

Booking ahead

Many AA agents allow or require appointment bookings — checking in advance can save a wasted trip during busy periods.

After the appointment

Ask about expected processing times, especially if any additional verification is needed for your overseas licence.
