If you are visiting from another country or have recently arrived in New Zealand, and you have a current and valid driver licence or international driving permit (IDP), you can drive for a maximum of 12 months from the date you arrive in New Zealand. (Each time you visit New Zealand, you may drive for a further 12-month period on a valid overseas driver licence or IDP, as long as you stay for no more than a year at a time.) If you are driving using an IDP you must also carry your overseas licence with you.
Note: if your licence or IDP isn't in English, you must carry an accurate English translation issued by:
a translation service approved by the NZTA (phone the NZTA's driver licensing contact centre on 0800 822 422 for a list of approved translation services), or
a diplomatic representative at a high commission, embassy or consulate, or
the authority that issued your licence.
Note: if your driver licence is not in English, an IDP in English may be acceptable as a translation.
If you don't have a current and valid overseas driver licence or IDP then you cannot drive in New Zealand. If you want to drive then you must apply for a New Zealand driver licence.”作者: 猥亵小白 时间: 2013-1-10 19:31:14
