Fit and Proper
Prior to issuance of a licence, the Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand requires all prospective licence holders to pass a Fit and Proper Person Assessment. As a result, while applying for a New Zealand licence, you must supply both a criminal conviction history and a history of transport offences. This information must be received from the country or countries in which you have spent more than six consecutive months in the previous five years.
