Yes, our translations are NZTA and NAATI accredited, which means you can drive in New Zealand or Australia with your overseas licence if you have it translated by us.
You can also convert your overseas licence in New Zealand and Australia.
Note: NZTA and NAATI translations are 2 different translations, so you must have an NZTA translation for New Zealand and a NAATI translation for Australia.
No. Even if you have your licence translated by an accredited translator, you can’t drive in NZ nor Australia with your expired overseas licence.
You can drive for a maximum period of 12 months from the date you arrive in New Zealand. Each time you arrive in New Zealand you can drive for a further 12-month period.
In Australia, the majority of states and territories (excluding the Northern Territory) permit foreign drivers to use their overseas licences without a time limit, as long as the licence remains valid. The obligation to obtain an Australian driver’s licence arises only in instances of a change in visa/citizenship status or upon the expiration of the overseas licence. However, in the Northern Territory, individuals must obtain a locally issued driver’s licence within three months, or they may seek an exemption to continue driving without a local licence
If your overseas licence hasn’t been expired for more than 12 months, you can still convert it to a New Zealand licence. After 12 months from the expiry date, you can no longer convert it to a New Zealand licence.
