Limited licence lawyer in Christchurch<\/h1>\n

We take out the stress and complication applying for a limited licence. Contact us<\/a> today for a free consultation.<\/p>\n

What is a limited licence?<\/h2>\n

A limited licence (sometimes called a work licence) is a temporary licence that is available to disqualified and suspended drivers.<\/p>\n

The District Court can grant the licence if the disqualification would cause extreme hardship to the disqualified driver or undue hardship to another person.<\/p>\n

Are you eligible to apply for a limited licence?<\/h2>\n

The Land Transport Act 1998<\/a> sets out who can apply, who cannot apply and when the Court can grant a limited licence to a disqualified driver.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand Police also play a big role in the process. The Police can oppose your application if they disagree with it. Therefore if the Police approve your application in advance then you are far more likely to be successful.<\/p>\n

Take a look at our guide (Available here in PDF<\/a><\/em>) to identify any pitfalls you might face. Just follow the arrows in the diagram to see whether you may be eligible.<\/p>\n
