Hi Ben, you might be interested in following a request I made earlier this month for similar information: https://fyi.org.nz/request/3719-organ-do...

It hasn't been answered yet, but I've asked NZTA to disclose the number of driver licences with and without "DONOR" printed on them. Because New Zealand has nothing like a donor registry, as far as I'm aware this is the closest thing we have to a way of recording potential donors.
