Tēnā koe,

Thank you for your OIA request to the Department of Internal Affairs (included with this email)

As the information you have requested regarding Driver's Licenses is not held by the Department of Internal Affairs, but is believed to be held by, and more closely related to the functions of the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi, we are partially transferring your request to that agency for response, in accordance with section 14(b) of the Official Information Act 1982.

You can expect to hear from the receiving agency shortly in regard to your request.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision to transfer. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or Freephone 0800 802 602.

Nāku, nā
