Welcome to the NZTA Heavy Vehicle Permit Portal
New permit portal coming October
We’re replacing the platform of the Heavy Vehicle Permit Portal this year.
The new platform will integrate our systems to support the permit application process. The release of permit applications will be staged.
You’ll be able to transfer your vehicle information to the new portal on September 24, 2024. The first permits to transition to the new system will be higher mass and overlength permits, in October 2024.
More information on how to transfer your vehicle information to the new platform will be available before it is live.
Aim
To have a single heavy vehicle permit processing system.

Register an account
By creating a user account you will be able to speed up your application time. You can easily save your company details so that you won’t have to populate them for each application. You will also be able to view the status of your application and edit applications, where you have either got details incorrect or you wish to submit a new application.
NB: it is not required to create a user account and applications can still be submitted without one.
