Non-driver ID card/ Digital driver licence
Felix Lee made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
The request was successful.
From: Felix Lee
Kia Ora Waka Kotahi,
I would like to request any documents you have on plans related to Waka Kotahi issuing an ID card to people who don't have a driver's licence, for example like the type available in Queensland. [1]
Also, in the request OIA-8248 [2] last year regarding digital driver licence, it mentioned Waka Kotahi is monitoring ISO standard 18013-5. The standard has since been released, I would like to know is there any updates on digital driver licence since that request.
Thank you for your help
Ngā mihi,
Felix Lee

Lots of overseas transport agencies also issue non-driver ID cards so I want to see what NZTA thinks.

I think this is the closest thing available in NZ: https://kiwiaccess.co.nz/.
I wouldn't have thought NZTA would be responsible for issuing something that isn't related to driving?
