Renewing your driver licence
Once you turn 75 there are a few changes to the process for renewing your driver licence.
- Your new licence will be valid for only two to five years.
- The renewal fees are lower – because you’re renewing your licence more often.
- You need to present a medical certificate each time you apply.
- If recommended by your doctor, you will have to sit a 30-minute On-road Safety Test.
All the information you will need to renew your driver licence is available from the New Zealand Transport agency.
