What we do
I
n New Zealand, every motor vehicle used on the road must comply
with regulations governing safety and environmental protection.
As part of a long term partnership with Government via the New
Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA), VINZ inspects, tests and certifies
new and used vehicles to ensure they comply with these regulations.
Our services meet the needs of an essential and permanent part of
road user legislation.
They include Warrant of Fitness (WOF) and Certificate of Fitness testing
(COF for commercial vehicles), vehicle appraisals and inspections,
exhaust emission testing, driver and vehicle licensing, and road user
charge collection.
Used vehicles entering the country must comply with New Zealand
regulations. Through a network of compliance agents, VINZ operates
“one stop shops” for Entry Certification in addition to nationwide
testing station sites.

INZ was originally established as a co-operative
in the early 1990’s. It is now a
privately owned company.
Our purpose was initially to
provide services to the
mushrooming used vehicle import industry, motor dealerships
and their customers and provide

and operational requirements.

structure minimised the need for
capital investment by VINZ and
enabled the faster processing
of vehicles from the arrival ports
