NZ Car Sale Paperwork
Selling your car in Wanaka? Make sure NZTA records the sale so the vehicle is no longer linked to you as the registered person. NZTA requires sellers to notify them immediately when a vehicle is sold or disposed of, and this can be done online. Read the official NZTA guide to selling a vehicle for the full steps.
Tell NZTA About the Sale
Complete NZTA’s “Let us know you’ve sold a vehicle” transaction as soon as the sale is completed. You will need your New Zealand driver licence and the buyer’s full name and address.
Have These Details Ready
- Vehicle registration plate number
- Buyer’s full name and address
- Date of sale
- Your NZ driver licence or required ID
Selling to a Wrecker
If you sell or give your vehicle to a wrecker, NZTA says you need to notify them and cancel the vehicle’s registration or have the wrecker do it. This is different from a normal sale to another registered person.
Before Pickup
Remove your personal belongings from the vehicle and take any personalised plates you want to keep. Keep your ID and any vehicle documents available in case they are needed for the sale.
