Renewing your licence at 75

Lenka Caslavska from Citizens Advice Bureau Nelson Tasman

🚙🛻🚗💨 You will need to renew your driver licence when you turn 75, 80, and every two years after that.

Waka Kotahi, the NZ Transport Agency will send you a driver licence renewal pack about eight weeks before your licence is due to expire.

You can also apply up to 6 months before you turn 75 by downloading the form yourself or requesting one from a driver licencing agent near you.

As part of the renewal, you will need to:

👉 get a medical check by your doctor showing that you are medically fit to drive and
👉 you may also have to do an on-road safety test (this depends on what your medical check results are).

Once your medical check certificate states that you are fit to drive, and you have done an on-road test if required, you can complete the application form and visit a driver licensing agent to apply in person. When you apply, your medical check results must not be older than 60 days.
