Converting a Samoan Licence to a NZ licence

Get ready to hit the road in New Zealand with ease by converting your Samoan licence to a NZ full licence!

​​

Located in various South Auckland locations (Manurewa, Otara and Manukau), we're excited to offer the theory and practical driving courses in both Gagana Samoa and English, making it super easy to learn the driving rules in your own language.

Process for Conversion THEORY Course

Step 1 of 2

You'll need to pass a Theory Test.  Our Overseas Conversion Theory Courses in Gagana Samoa can help you prepare for the computerised theory test.

Once you've passed the theory test, you'll receive a NZ licence with 'supervisor' conditions.

Process for Conversion PRACTICAL Driving Course

Step 2 of 2

Once you have passed your Overseas Conversion Theory Test we recommend you book and pay for your Conversion Practical Driving Test straight away.  Make sure you allow for at least 2 weeks or more from the date you passed your theory test.  You'll need to book and pay for your driving test online.  Book online through the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency website by clicking here.  The cost to book the test is $59.90.

​​

Once you've booked your driving test, you can book for our Conversion Practical Driving Course to help you prepare for your driving test.  We'll train you on all the essential tasks required for the test including support on the day of your driving test too!  Our course cost is $500 but if you've done a theory course with us the discounted cost is $380!​

​​​​​

How it works

You get 5 days of training (2 hours per day) with a down-to-earth and awesome instructor to apply the key learnings from the theory and learning additional driving skills required for the driving test.  On testing day, we'll also be there to support you by sitting in the back seat to make sure you're ok.
