Vehicle licensing (rego)

Buy your vehicle licence at a selected local NZ Post store and you'll receive your licence label on the spot. Check if your local NZ Post store has these services with Find NZ Post.

Fees are based on your vehicle type, usage, and how long you choose to license.

For the current common licensing fees including petrol and non-petrol driven, taxis, rental, trailers, motorcycles, trucks, van or utility, visit the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency website

Licensing your vehicle

Choose your licence period on the reminder notice you received in the mail, or complete the Application to license motor vehicle (MR1B) form at a local NZ Post store. 

If you complete the MR1B form, you’ll need to know your vehicle plate number, year, make and model.
