  1. If you do have a current overseas driver licence or international driving permit, you can drive using that for a maximum of 12 months from the date you arrive in New Zealand. (Note: if your overseas licence or permit isn't in English, you must carry an accurate translation. See Other information you need to know below for more information.)

    Each time you visit New Zealand, you can drive for a further 12-month period on a valid overseas licence or international driving permit.

    What happens after one year?

    If you wish to drive after one year, you must first gain a New Zealand drive licence. We recommend you apply early to make sure you have a new licence before the one year is up.

    Forms to use to apply for an overseas licence conversion are available from Land Transport New Zealand driver licensing agents.

    You will have to pass a theory test and, depending on the country you have come from, you may have to pass a practical driving test as well.

    You don't have to sit the practical test if:

    you have a licence from Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the United States of America,


  2. No you cannot convert your brazilian drivers license into a NZ license but you can drive using an international license. Be aware that our road rules are different to yours in Brazil. Please check our road and transport rules thoroughly as there are many accidents in NZ caused by tourists
