Your passport

Registration papers or Certificate of Permanent Export (UK), Certificate of Title (USA), or De-registration Certificate (Japan)

The vehicle should then be transported (not driven, as it does not comply with NZ's regulations at this time) to a Vehicle Testing Station. Here the vehicle will be inspected and tested to ensure that it complies with all LTSA regulations (Land Transport Safety Authority) and a compliance audit for certification for registration.
