NZTA: Revoke authorised access to personal details

**breakaway** · 13th August 2010, 10:10

Worried about how people can obtain the address your vehicle is registered to with no other details but your registration? Worry no more:

https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/transa...ess/entry.aspx <-- click to 'revoke access' / 'opt-out'

Who has access to my personal information?

Currently, the names and addresses held on the Motor Vehicle Register are publicly available to any person who provides the registration plate number of the vehicle and pays the prescribed fee.

The law is changing

A new law will come into effect on 1 November 2010 that will better protect your personal information on the Motor Vehicle Register. For more information see 'Law changes to protect your personal information'

Everyone should do this, immediately. Just did all our vehicles.

Some of you no doubt register your bikes/cars to other places than your homes, but this should work nicely for those of us that do not have that luxury

I did that a couple of weeks ago to my vehicles. Lets just hope it works as promised.

Just did this.

For some reason, it won't recognise the numberplate if you put the letters in caps .. has to be lowercase.

For example, it will recognise gxr, but not GXR.

I register my vehicles to my dad's address, also means that if you're flatting or something and change addresses often, you don't have to go changing your rego details (for this reason I get virtually all mail sent to my dad's place)

Anyway, I'm so glad to see they've finally done this, I've always thought it was completely inexplicable that your personal details were so readily available to anyone that wanted them. I'll be changing all my vehicles once my new licence shows up (currently have a paper one since I just got my 6F

)

So your dad doesn't mind the fact that angry cunts may show up to his place looking for you?
