pop down to the cop shop and get them to run you through there computer and confirm with you the day you may resume driving, just to be sure, you would hate to be a day out and get caught and lose it for another 6 months.

Even better, don't have to travel anywhere.

Ring LTNZ Driver Licensing on 0800 822 422. There will be an option to ask about when a disqualification period ends. Choose that. Provide your license number, they will be able to tell you the last day of suspension, and when the first day you can drive/ride again.

On that day, you have to ring them, they will provide a reference number, you take that into your AA (or whatever) and they will issue you a temporary driver license, valid for 3 weeks. At this point they should also put your plastic card into production and when its done, it will be mailed out (yes, its insane, they take licenses, then re-print... waste of resources).

No... I have never done this before

btw... this may not be correct for 28 day ones (above was for 3 months), but ring LTNZ, they will tell you whats what.
