Cost of vehicle licence labels
Toby Fulton made this Official Information request to New Zealand Transport Agency
The request was successful.
From: Toby Fulton
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
Firstly, can I commend you on the excellent progress that has been made on improving online customer transactions including vehicle licencing. As per your 2017/18 annual report: "This year we continued to improve the way we do business online and electronically. We made it possible for customers to receive their vehicle licensing reminders by email, and we promoted our online vehicle registration service, which has significantly increased online vehicle re-licensing transactions."
If possible could you please provide the cost of printing and mailing vehicle licence labels for the 2017/18 financial year. Note that ideally I would like the cost of mailing only the licence labels as opposed to the cost of mailing vehicle licence expiry reminders (if this is possible).
Could you please also provide me with any other purpose of vehicle licence labels other than to indicate that the vehicle is currently licensed (as recorded in your vehicle licencing database) and the month and year of expiry (obviously the plate number and car details should match). For example, is there any information contained in the label bar code that is not able to be obtained from a scan of the vehicle registration plate (or entering the plate into your public licence lookup website)
Yours faithfully,
Toby Fulton
