Must-Know

When you have a learner licence do you have to have it with you when you drive?

Yes
No

When you are driving with a New Zealand Learner Licence, you must carry your licence with you at all times. There are specific rules that Learner Licence holders must follow while driving. For example, a Learner Licence holder must have a supervising driver who holds a full licence and has at least 2 years of driving experience. Carrying your licence allows for quick verification of the driver’s identity and qualifications during police checks, thereby reducing risks and potential misunderstandings on the road. It is very important for licence holders to understand and comply with this requirement.
