Subject: Official Information request - Front Number Plate Fixture
Requirements

 

Dear New Zealand Transport

 

I would like to request information regarding the display of a number
plate at the front of a private motor vehicle.

 

According to the NZTA website, it states, "All plates must be fixed
securely to the vehicle in an upright position. They must be displayed so
that all the characters (numbers and letters) are clearly visible at all
times."

 

Since the NZTA website states, "The Transport Agency is no longer actively
pursuing an adhesive plate product. We were unable to find a suitable
product that the manufacturer would guarantee and that could be provided
at a reasonable price."

 

If a private vehicle owner, is able to obtain, on their own, an adhesive
number plate, which meets the requirements that:

 

- It is fixed securely to the vehicle in an upright position.

- It is displayed so that all the characters (numbers and letters) are
clearly visible at all times.

 

Please provide all information, which states whether this is legal or
illegal in New Zealand.

 

Yours faithfully,

Mr Muller

Dear Michelle Charlton,

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my original request. I have read
your response and would like to make a further inquiry, since it may have
been unclear in my original information request.

 

According to the Land Transport (Motor Vehicle Registration and Licensing)
Regulations 2011, in Part 4 (Registration plates), sub section: Issue of
plates. Under the sub heading, (33) Form of ordinary plates (page 19),
subclause (5) states, "The base material of an ordinary plate must be
aluminium or any other material that may be determined by the Registrar."

 

Superseding this, under the sub heading, (33) Form of ordinary plates
(page 19), sub-clause (6) states, "Despite subclause (5), an ordinary
plate to be fixed to the front of a motor vehicle may be in the form of an
adhesive label."

 

Following these regulations, and complying with the NZTA stated
requirements (Display of number plates:
[6]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=2838&a...
, if a private vehicle owner, is able to obtain, on their own, an adhesive
number plate, which meets the requirements that:

 

- It is fixed securely to the vehicle in an upright position.

- It is displayed so that all the characters (numbers and letters) are
clearly visible at all times.

- Which meets the necessary reflective and security standards.

 

Please provide all information, which states whether this is legal or
illegal in New Zealand.

 

Kind Regards,

Mr Muller
