Incomplete paperwork is one of the most common reasons for a wasted trip to the AA agent. This checklist brings clarity.
Basic documents
- Valid passport
- Proof of current New Zealand address
- A recent passport-style photo, if not captured digitally on-site
Licence-specific documents
- Original overseas driver licence
- Certified translation or International Driving Permit, if required
- Evidence of your most recent arrival date, such as your passport stamp or immigration record
Depending on your situation, you may also need
- Visa documentation confirming your current immigration status
- A medical certificate for certain licence classes
Practical tip
Bring both the original documents and copies — some agents will keep copies on file for your application.
