You ask two entirely different questions here?
To answer your first, of course you can....
To answer the second, of course you can.....wait until 3 months and one day the register it! Simple really.

Nope, You can however, register for less than 3 months, but cant cancel the 'on hold' without back paying the time the rego was on hold. There was talk on here about getting a day rego but I couldn't find any referrence to it on the nzta website.

CVL, fuckarsers. what you describe is vehicle licensing, not registration.

you can apply (beg) for an exemption from CVL - minimum period 3 months.

if you find yourself with a good supply of cash and vaseline, and like it that way, you can choose to apply (beg) for CVL - effective immediately. the latter begging overrides the former.

the day pass, i believe, is for "show vehicles", although by reason, this applies to any vehicles, different form, ask for it at your post office.

The form is a MR27, for changing license expiry date.

its for any vehicle.

That's for a "day licence" as per a post above.

I don't believe you can put a vehicle on hold for less than 3 months. If you do put it on hold, then take it off 2.5 months later, you'll back pay the rego (or whatever we're bloody calling it). You can put it on hold for a year, and take it off after 4 months I think? but as long as it's been on hold continuously for 3 months...

My advice, pay for 6 months... ride it heaps, then buy another 6

I was replying to akwels post referring to registering a show vehicle for a day.

The minimum time you can put a vehicle on hold is 3 Months however you normally get a reminder to re-register it (MR1) about 3 weeks before its due . If you use this form to register it you get a new rego label that starts from the date that your 3 months hold is up. Does that make sense ? So you effectively get 2-3 weeks rego for free

Really? Or does the rego expiry just end up being 3 months from when you put it on hold?

I once put my Stag on hold, only to re-license it online 2 months later. The three months license started from when I put the rego on hold....

If that's the case (rego starts from that point), then those 2-3 weeks it's actually on hold.

This happened to me. I put the car on hold 22 Nov for 3 months. 20th? Jan, I needed the car so went in expecting to back pay from the 22 Nov. Instead I got a new label good for 3 months from the 21st Feb-21 May.(4 weeks ahead). I pointed out the 4 weeks between then and the 21 Feb, they said, 'nope, the computer says you are licenced till May22.
In May I went back for another 3 months expecting to get told I owed them for a month. Got another label from May22. so somehow I seem to have gained a months grace.

I see your point, I told the woman at the NZTA office that I needed my vehicle legal from the 20 Jan, she said you are legal now till the label expires. (in reality, 4 months time, not 3). The re licence label only states when it expires, not when it is issued.

I still think she was wrong, but that is what the computer system came up with.

As long as you use the ( MR1) form that you get sent by NZTA you get the extra time. If you go into an agent and use the handwritten ( MR1A) form you miss out I believe

More half-truths and suppositions on this thread than most other KB threads - and that's saying something.
