Mainly pointless

Yes the app lets me see information about my license and car registration, all of which I can see if I look at the actual license and car registration - honestly much easier to pull out my wallet or look at the windscreen. . It doesn’t let me do anything that useful like pay a toll.

Thanks for taking the time to send feedback. We will be adding more functions and features over the coming year - for example adding toll functionality is on our backlog of changes. Thanks for your patience with this.

Great app need upload photos function

There is so much potential with this app, would be cool to get push notifications and have the ability to upload a photo of the actual vehicle. And it would be cool if you could do “in app” purchases, instead of Navigating away from it. Overall the app is great, definitely needs those cool features.

10 regos?

Added the trailers and motorbikes and no more spaces to start adding the cars, utes and SUV’s would be great to be able to add more than 10 Regos.

Thanks for taking the time to rate and review the app. Regarding the limit on the number of vehicles you can add - although we have no immediate plans to increase this, we do plan to release a change in the coming months that will result in all vehicles registered to you being automatically displayed in the app, regardless of how many that is. You will still be able to add up to 10 additional vehicles if you wish.

Alright App

Definitely more convenient than the website. Would be really cool if users could add photos of there cars to the screen with the added vehicle. I have a few of the exact same car 😭

Need few useful features added

1)auto renew rego feature on/off feature will be good.

2) request a new licence feature if it is lost or damaged

Hi - thanks for taking the time to send us feedback and suggestions.

Too hard to set up

Far too difficult to get setup using real me to validate who I am. Wouldn’t accept my phone number that I’ve had for over 18 years.
Typical over complicated government system.

Good app

Just downloaded it, signed into my realme account and it worked perfectly. Well designed app. One feature that would be very handy would be to have a digital copy of your license. It would be awesome to add that

Hi Aidan. Thanks for taking the time to rate and review the app. Regarding adding a digital licence - we are working with our colleagues at Ministry of Transport and DIA on what would be required to deliver a digital licence in New Zealand. It will be some time before a digital licence is available in NZ, but the work has begun

Missing driver licence and valid for id

I would personally love to be able to have my driver licence in the app or in my Apple wallet to not have to carry my licence with me , as my phone has every card I ever need when I got out, but I need to carry my driver licence with me , it would be so easy to have my licence in my phone and bob your uncle , that my only complaint

Looking good

Coming along great, as per other suggestions regarding payments - have a auto payment fund as in you can send a automatic payment each week, when the time comes to renew rego it just pays it out of the built up fund, RUC could be added on this aswell as say a set an amount of time and it buys whatever amount you set, cheers
