"The application fee for sitting a car licence test will cover two tests – if you need a third test or more you'll have to pay for each time you sit the test."
Driver licence test fees are changing from 8 July 2024. The application fee for sitting a car licence test will cover two tests – if you need a third test or more you'll have to pay for each time you sit the test.
There’s very high demand for tests, and wait times have been made longer by many people sitting their test without being prepared and taking several attempts before they pass. This change will encourage people to be well-prepared before booking a test.
People applying to convert their overseas licence to a New Zealand car licence will pay an application fee and a fee for each test.
