My registration or warrant of fitness is due to expire. Is there a grace period before I could be fined for it?

My registration or warrant of fitness is due to expire. Is there a grace period before I could be fined for it?

No. The only acceptable reason for using your vehicle would be to take it to the garage for a warrant of fitness test. The fine for an expired registration or WOF is $200.

For more information phone the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) on 0800 822 422 or visit NZTA's website section on getting a warrant of fitness.
