There are 35 multiple-choice questions, and you must answer at least 32 correctly to pass.
Is there a time limit on the theory test?
We could not confirm an official time limit on the sources we checked, so our mock exam is not timed. Ask your licensing agent if you are unsure.
What do I need to bring to the learner licence test?
Bring evidence of identity, such as a passport or birth certificate, proof of your New Zealand address, your glasses or contact lenses if you wear them, and the fee. You can fill in the DL1 application form at the agent.
What happens if I fail the theory test?
Your application fee covers a second attempt, which you book separately. Each attempt after that costs an extra fee.
What can I do after I pass?
You get a learner licence. You may drive only with a supervisor who has held a full licence for at least two years, sitting in the front passenger seat, and you must display L plates front and rear.
Are the licence rules changing?
Yes. From 25 January 2027 the full licence practical test is removed, under-25s spend longer on a learner licence, and all learner and restricted drivers have a zero-alcohol limit.
