New Zealand Invites Public Feedback on Digital Driver Licence Design

New Zealand is advancing digital drivers’ licences, with public consultation underway to design a secure, privacy-focused system that offers a convenient alternative to physical licences. The government aims to create a simpler, integrated transport service allowing users to manage their licences and receive information online, emphasizing user confidence and optional adoption. Legislation enabling these changes has passed, and feedback is being sought over four weeks to ensure the system is safe, trusted, and widely accepted.
