robjg63: A couple of years back.... but you go into an AA centre, do the paperwork, they do the basic eye test and assuming all is ok, they give you a temp document that says the new licence is in the post and within a week or so, you get the new one sent to you.

I understand the process, I'm looking for how long it's currently taking. I'm only in the country for a couple of weeks and there will be the Christmas break to contend with.

larknz: I have just gone through the process and I had my new license in the post in a week

Great, thanks!

If that holds true I'd be stoked.

A week here in the height of covid last year.

mine fell into the period where you were given the 3 month extension.

HelloThere: Could you put your postal address as your overseas address?

That's a whole different can of beans which really isn't worth it.

I'm in NZ for 12 days prior to Christmas so should be ok by the sounds of things. If necessary I'll courier it from Mums.

Thanks for reminding me! I need to sort mine...
