Exactly. My drivers license expired (the fact that could happen was news to me - law change came in after I got it) and I discovered this when trying to rent a small truck to move house. I went to renew it. They wanted 3 months of utility statement for the property I listed as my address. That's all well and good, but I didn't live there yet. I drove without a license for 3 months to meet their requirement. Then to cap it all off, at the appointment to get the license they wanted 2 forms of ID. As my old license had expired it wasn't valid, so I used my 2 passports. They seemed to think having 2 was illegal and called the police. Well done New Zealand Land Transport Authority. It was a pleasure.
