Getting an endorsement – PVIO

Applying for a passenger (P) endorsement

If you carry passengers for hire or reward you need a P endorsement.
You also need a P endorsement if you drive a large passenger service vehicle, even if you're not being paid for it.

Check your application status

Applying for a vehicle recovery (V) endorsement

Tow truck and car transporter drivers are the most common drivers who need an endorsement for vehicle recovery. If you operate a vehicle recovery service of any kind, you’ll also need a V endorsement.

Applying for a driving instructor (I) endorsement

Teaching people to drive for your business, or any kind of payment, requires you to have a driving instructor (I) endorsement on your licence. Be aware that any space the public can access, even if they aren’t supposed to, can be considered a road. This includes parking, fields and beaches if the public could drive there.

Applying for a testing officer (O) endorsement

To conduct practical driving tests, you must be employed by the NZ Transport Agency, a testing agent contracted to the Transport Agency or the NZ Defence Force.
