Dear Mark Casidy



On behalf of Hon Steven Joyce, Minister of Transport, thank you for your email of 23 July 2009 outlining your support for a fellow motorcycle enthusiast, who has experienced a time delay of over 3 months for the re vinning process to be accomplished.



Your email has been placed before the Minister for his consideration and you may expect a reply in due course.



Yours sincerely

My bike was last registered in 2001. It has no plate but there ia an old WOF under the seat with the plate number on. Does Land Transport have records or do I have to go through another rigamarole to get it reregistered? What do I need to get it reregistered?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Dave

Proof of ownership,Bill of sale, receipt.
Proof of previous registration in NZ, that WOF could do if it is still on the records.
A VIN plate, if it has a VIN number they will have a record of the bike for sure. If no VIN you just could be in deep shyte if the bike is not 40 years old or more
If over 40 years old you will need a letter of Authenticity from the NZ VINTAGE CAR CLUB.

Where would they put a VIN plate? When did they start to use them? My bike is 1980. Thanks.

Wof with a rego from 2001 will be enough. That'll be in the system. Just take it and go see them. It's if it hasn't been registered since around 1987 (? I think - 1980 summit ) that you have problems.

That's when the records previously kept by the local authorities were transferred onto the LTSA computer (or the predecessor of the LTSA, computerised, anyway). Problem was, they copied all the CURRENT registrations that the local bodies had, but ignored any lapsed ones. And then destroyed the original records (vandals !).

So if it wasn't registered back then, all trace may be lost.

Thanks Ixion. After deciphering the plate number from the WOF (not an easy task) I put it into the carjam website (www.carjam.co.nz) and I now have all the history! BTW I recommend carjam as it is half price of the other services such as lemoncheck.
