The new NZTA App will pave the way for the Government to deliver a digital driver licence, according to Transport Minister Simeon Brown and Digitising Government Minister Judith Collins.

“The Digital Drivers Licence is an important step towards digitising Government, which will ultimately lead us to better digital services and better outcomes for the public,” said Collins.

Through the app,  people can pay for vehicle registration and road user charges, and it will display expiry dates for cars’ warrants of fitness, vehicle registrations and RUC end distance.

Future app updates will also allow users to pay tolls and view their vehicles’ safety ratings.

The rollout of the App will also pave the way for the Government to deliver a Digital Driver Licence in New Zealand.
