中国驾照如何更换新西兰驾照？

从2016年8月1日开始，新西兰陆上交通管理局NZTA开始对海外驾照转换新西兰驾照实行全新的转换规则和流程。其中，对于中国大陆驾照持有者而言，申请人必须前往新西兰道路交通管理局指定的专门对海外驾照转换新西兰驾照进行处理的地点进行申请和考试；这些“专门处理海外驾照转换的办事机构”被称作 specialist overseas conversion site。

另外，与几年之前使用海外驾照可以“迅速”转换新西兰驾照的流程不同，新的办法要求，任何申请人的海外驾照原件的相关信息将会发送到NZTA总部进行为期两到三个星期的审核，如果审核不能通过，即便通过所有考试NZTA一样不会给申请人发放新西兰本地的驾驶执照。

那么，言归正传，持有中国驾照、进行了翻译、如何申请新西兰驾照？请继续往下看。

中国驾照转换新西兰驾照的流程 

我们以申请转换新西兰小轿车驾照、也就是CLASS 1做讲解，如果您希望转换的驾照是卡车驾照，不在本文的知识普及范围内。

澳大利亚	法国	日本	韩国
奥地利	德国	卢森堡	西班牙
比利时	希腊	荷兰	瑞典
加拿大	香港	挪威	瑞士
丹麦	爱尔兰	葡萄牙	英国
芬兰	意大利	南非	美国

如果您持有上述国家的驾照，那么您在申请新西兰驾照的时候，可以直接缴纳转换费即可获得新西兰全驾照，不需要笔试也不需要路考。例如，您曾经在英国或美国留学，并且在留学的时候获得了当地的驾照，那么，只要您的这份当地驾照没有失效，您前往NZTA的海外驾照转换点只需要出示这个驾照（不用翻译，因为是英文的），和您的护照，缴纳52.10新西兰元的转换费，NZTA用两三周时间验证一下驾照的真实性后，就可以为您直接颁发Full Driver Licence。
