Back on the road. Legally.
If you are disqualified, your District Court can grant a limited licence so you can keep working, keep caring for people, and keep your life running. We prepare the application, the affidavit and the complete court bundle - ready to file at all 58 District Courts in New Zealand. Call 0800 437 005.

8 years Of limited licence applications, in every court in the land.
Four steps. We do three of them.
The stand down. Demerit point suspensions have no stand down, so you can apply straight away. Court disqualifications carry a 28 day stand down, and we use that time to build the file.
The evidence. Your affidavit, your employer's affidavit or company registration certificate, driving record and hardship detail. We draft them, you sign at the court.
The decision. You file at the District Court and we serve the documents on Police. Most applications are decided on the papers, no hearing and no lawyer needed.
The conditions. The order sets the hours, routes and purposes you may drive for. Keep to them and you keep the licence.
Which one are you?
Employment. You will lose your job. Shift work, a site that no bus reaches, or a role that requires a licence. Your employer confirms it in writing and the court hears it.
Your own business. The vehicle is the business. Trades, contracting, deliveries, farming. Staff and clients depend on you being able to drive. We evidence the loss with your own numbers.
Family and care. Someone depends on you. School runs, medical appointments, a parent or child who cannot get there alone. Care obligations are proper grounds and the court treats them seriously.
Where you live. There is no other way in. Rural New Zealand, no service after dark, the nearest town half an hour away. Distance and absent transport are facts, and facts carry an application.
No licence, no income, no mortgage payment.
Losing your licence hits your income first and your mortgage or rent straight after. A limited licence is granted on that hardship, not on sympathy. Find the case that matches yours. That is the case we build.
