Using your password

We recommend you change (reset) the original password we gave you immediately. Click on Change your password in the left-hand menu.

Your password should be six or seven characters and can be letters, numbers or both. You can only reset your password once you’ve logged in.

If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, you’ll be locked out of your account. If you’ve been locked out or you’ve forgotten your password, please email toro@nzta.govt.nz

Only approved administrators should log in

Only approved administrators should log into TORO. An approved administrator must fill in the Application to become an approved administrator for TORO and agree to the terms and conditions before they can log in.

If you’re not sure who your approved administrator is, email toro@nzta.govt.nz with your full company name to check.

To change the approved administrator for your company, download the application form below, fill it in, sign it and email it to toro@nzta.govt.nz

You must have a driver’s consent before you can inquire on their driver licence.

Consent to access my information in TORO [PDF, 77 KB]

1. Click on DL status inquiry in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Enter the driver licence number into the DL number field (two letters and six numbers).
3. Enter the driver licence version number into the DL version number field.
4. Enter the driver’s surname into the Surname field. Make sure you enter the full surname, exactly how it’s printed on the driver licence.
5. Press Enter or click on Search.

The system will check and confirm the driver licence number matches the driver you’ve named, to make sure you see the correct information for that driver.

Your inquiry links into the Driver Licence Register (not your driver list). Only driver licences issued in New Zealand are on the register.

What TORO shows you

A search on TORO will show:

• which driver licence classes and endorsements the driver holds
• any conditions on their driver licence
• the status of their driver licence (eg current, disqualified, suspended, revoked or expired).

If you don’t have the licence number and version number

You can inquire using the full name and date of birth of the driver. The details must relate to a unique driver, meaning there’s only one person who has that name and date of birth on the Driver Licence Register.

You must have a driver’s consent before you add them to TORO.

We’ll send your approved administrator an automatic notification if the driver licence status changes.

Note: if the driver licence has expired or is suspended/disqualified when you add a driver to your list, we won’t be able to let you know. The system only picks up when the driver licence status changes. We recommend you check the current driver licence status after you’ve added the driver to your list.

1. Click on DL list maintenance in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Enter the driver licence number into the DL number field.
3. Enter the driver’s surname into the Surname field.
4. Click on Remove drivers licence number from operator list.
5. Press Enter or click on Submit.

You can only remove one driver at a time.

You must remove a driver from your TORO account if:

• they end their consent
• the period of time they provided in their consent form ends
• their employment or engagement with you ends
• you no longer hold a valid transport service licence.

Display the list on your screen

1. Click on Operator DL list in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Click on Display the list on your screen.
3. Press Enter or click on Continue.

You’ll see a list of your drivers and their driver licence statuses. Click on their name or driver licence number to inquire on their driver licence.

Download the list

1. Click on Operator DL list in the menu on the left-hand side of the screen.
2. Select Download the list to your computer.
3. Press Enter or click on Continue.
4. Click on Save as when your computer prompts you.
5. Choose the location to save the file to (if applicable).
6. Name the file as appropriate.
7. Change the file extension in the file name from .dc to .txt
8. Select ‘All files’ from the Save as type drop down box.
9. Click on Save.

You should be able to open the file with Notepad or a similar program. Most systems have a standard program that can read .txt files.

We’ll automatically email your approved administrator if the driver licence status for any of your drivers changes.

Our systems update overnight, and we send you notifications the next day.

Some notifications may take a little bit longer. For example, when a police officer suspends or disqualifies a driver, we update the Driver Licence Register once the police have let us know. Then we send your notification the next day.

Note: you must have added the driver to your operator list to receive automatic notifications about their driver licence. If you haven’t, you won’t get the notifications.

To move between screens, we recommend you use the menu on the left-hand side, rather than your browser’s back button. Sometimes your browser’s back button may not work.

Once you’re registered for TORO, it’s free to use.

If you can’t find the information you’re looking for when you search in TORO, you can ask us to do a manual search for you. You’ll need to provide the driver licence holder’s:

• full name
• date of birth
• licence number
• licence version (if known)
• signed consent.

If you have any other questions about TORO, you can email toro@nzta.govt.nz

We commit to responding to email queries within 2 working days.
