Hey guys,

I had put my hornet on 3 months hold last month, but now that the bike is fixed im keen to get back on the road.

Since my hold has only been for a month, it will backdate to original if I register it now. Else I have to wait another two months.

However I read here on KB that I can change the ownership and it wouldnt backdate to the original date of expiry. So could I change the ownership to say my dad who doesnt ride or have a bike licence?

The hold stays in its current status no matter who owns it. The weather is about to turn to arse anyway, use the hold as a reason to stay warm.

Just in case the above isn't clear:
- You can put your License on hold for periods of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months (you choose)
- Whatever period you choose, if you relicense the vehicle in under 3 months from when the hold started, you have to pay for that time as well as what period you then get from the relicense date
- If you put it on hold for 6, 9 or 12 months, you can relicense at any time after 3 months without any payment for the period on hold ie you don't have to know how long you want to have it on hold when you put it on hold. So you might as well always choose a 12 month hold period.
- Before the hold period is completed, you can extend the hold for another period of 3, 6, 9 or 12 months (again it is always best to select 12 months). You do not need a current WoF to extend the hold period and it can be done on line.

I have had two bikes on hold continuously now for 14 years (renewed every year) and now have my 1200 on hold. I thought that the MR27 could be used to select any relicense period from 1 day to 15 months and only pay for that time (provided has been on hold at least 3 months). Thanks Subike for confirming this. Just have to remember to put the bike back on hold before license period expires.

Can any one confirm this: if you sell a bike that is on hold to someone else and it is within the first three months of the hold period, do you have to pay that period of license fee?

If you buy a vehicle that is on hold, and do the change of ownership that day, then you only pay from the date of the change of ownership.
the previous owner will then be sent an account for the unpaid license fees prior to that date, be it a day or up to 3mths .
Be sure that when buying a vehicle you change the ownership inmediatley.
I recently sold a vehicle that had been on hold for 3 weeks,
the new owner licensed it the day he bought it from me,
I received an account in the mail the following week for the back dated license fees.

How can it have been on hold if you received an invoice for back dated rego?

If its on hold, it stays on hold and nobody gets charged for back dated fees. Trust me on this.

so the account I got in the mail was a figment of my imagination
and the ten years of recovering vehicles as a profession, dealing with these issues did not exist
ok
and again it is not registration
it is continuous license
registration is the numberplate affixed to the vehicle at time on compliance for road use and registered in a ledger.

[GingerMidget]

Registration and continuious licence are the same thing.

If it was on hold, you should not have got an invoice. I've sold cars that have been on hold and not got an invoice, and I deal with this rubbish day in day out. Just quietly, I might know what I'm talking about. If you don't want to pay it, call NZTA and ask them why you got an invoice.

I left my psychic hat at work, so can't tell you what the issue was/is. Sorry.

Five bikes on hold.
Exemption expiry dates on a whiteboard in the shed.
Rode two of them this morning,helmetless, up the valley to circulate some oil.
Waved at the neighbours and pootled my horn.

No, they are completely different.

Registration is the one off process where the vehicle details - make model, VIN etc etc are entered into the NZTA database and the registered person is associated with the vehicle and its number plates in the motor vehicle register.

Licensing is the process of paying a fee to operate the vehicle on public roads. A vehicle may be registered, but unlicensed. My moped and caravan fall in this category, they are not licensed but are registered, and I am the registered person.

My Harley is registered, and as it is in a class of vehicle that requires continuous licencing, it is "on hold". Which is actually a licence class X, as opposed to the class it would require to be legally used on the road.

thank you ..

I'm going to throw in my little experience:

I put my vehicle on hold about a year ago, and went to register it to get back on the road. (my car was totalled)

They say I never applied and now I have to prove I put the license on hold. So I've got $500 to pay on top of my next rego. I can't find the little slip of paper for my application.

They only keep paperwork for six weeks. Not six weeks past the end of the paperwork, but six weeks from when the paperwork is processed. Depending on the paper we have at work (and I too work for a govt department) we have 5, 7, 15 and 101 year storage requirements for different paperwork, after the end of paperwork being finished.

I've been 'negotiating' with them for a few weeks now, and much longer and my vehicle will be de-registered.

But GingerMidget quite clearly stated she knows what she is talking about. Haven't you noticed every post of hers lets everyone know who she works for and that she knows all
