Request for Individual Surname and Address
Jessica Browne made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
New Zealand Transport Agency did not have the information requested.
From: Jessica Browne
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
I was rear ended by a motorist on Thursday the 15th December last year and on good faith took the drivers name, number and car details to have my car fixed early 2017. I have been in contact with the driver for over a month now and she still hasn't arranged for my car to be fixed. I would like to put a small claim together through the disputes tribunal to have the repair work carried out however I don't have the drivers surname or postal address. If you could please supply me with the owners details for this car that would be much appreciated; Nissan Bluebird BPC800.
Yours faithfully,
Jessica Browne

Hello Jessica
Thank you for your email about requesting personal information for a
vehicle that rear-ended your vehicle.
To provide some background information around your request, a law came
into effect on 1 May 2011 which has significantly restricted access to
personal information from the Motor Vehicle Register. Prior to this law
change, anyone who paid the prescribed fee, provided identification and a
vehicle's registration plate number, could obtain the registered person's
name and address from the Register.
The law now only permits the release of personal information for the
following purposes:
* Enforcement of the law
* Maintenance of the security of New Zealand
* Collection of charges imposed or authorised by an enactment
* The administration and development of transport law and policy, and
* Where the public interest outweighs the privacy of the individual
concerned
Further information about the release of personal information can be
accessed on our website at:
