When I sold my car the purchaser was getting a loan via a finance company. The finance company required a copy of my license to go through the transfer of car details with NZTA. I did object to them taking a copy of it as they could not give any of the information that can be requested under the Privacy Act. It came down to it that if I wanted the purchasers to buy the car the lender needed a copy.
When I've bought cars privately I gave also viewed the licence of the seller.
In this case arrange to meet the purchaser at their fniance company.
