新西兰拟推出电子驾驶执照 政府公开征求意见
新西兰华人每日资讯网 2026年7月16日讯
新西兰民众距离在手机上使用电子驾驶执照（Digital Driver Licence）又近了一步。新西兰政府现已就电子驾驶执照的设计方案启动公众咨询，希望广泛听取社会各界意见。
交通部副部长James Meager表示，电子驾驶执照将使公众在办理交通相关事务时更加快捷、便利和安全。
他说：“电子驾驶执照是新西兰交通服务数字化的重要一步。它将为民众提供一种新的身份证明和驾驶资格证明方式，让大家能够使用每天随身携带的智能手机完成身份验证。”
Meager表示，政府正致力于“解决当前问题、建设未来”（Fixing the Basics and Building the Future），希望建立一个更加简化、互联的交通服务体系，让公众能够在线管理驾驶证等交通事务，并及时接收重要通知。
他强调，公众意见对于制度设计至关重要，希望了解民众对电子驾驶执照的看法，以及哪些措施能够增强大家对新系统的信任。
数字化政府部长Paul Goldsmith则表示，电子驾驶执照在设计过程中将把隐私保护和网络安全作为核心原则。
他说：“系统将允许用户仅分享完成特定交易所必需的信息，最大程度保护个人隐私。”
Goldsmith同时强调，电子驾驶执照不会取代实体驾驶执照。
“这是一个完全自愿的选择。希望继续使用实体驾照的人可以照常使用，而希望享受数字化便利的人也将拥有新的选择。”
他呼吁所有新西兰民众积极参与此次公众咨询，共同打造一个安全、值得信赖、方便使用的电子驾驶执照系统。
咨询重点
根据政府介绍：
《交通法规（运输）修正法》（Regulatory Systems (Transport) Amendment Act）已于今年正式通过，为电子驾驶执照提供法律依据。
本次公众咨询主要征求实施细则和具体规则的意见。
咨询工作由新西兰交通局（NZ Transport Agency / NZTA）负责，为期4周。
在电子驾驶执照全面实施期间，新西兰警方仍将通过现有驾驶证登记系统核查驾驶资格，并逐步过渡至电子驾驶执照验证方式。
对公众意味着什么？
如果计划顺利推进，未来新西兰居民将可以：
在手机中安全存储驾驶执照；
办理租车、身份验证等业务时，无需携带实体驾照；
根据不同场景，仅分享必要的个人信息，提高隐私保护水平；
自由选择继续使用传统实体驾驶执照或电子驾驶执照，两者将长期并存。
这一改革被认为是新西兰数字政府建设的重要组成部分，未来也可能与更多政府数字身份服务实现互联互通，为居民提供更加便捷、安全的公共服务。
Kiwis are one step closer to being able to carry digital drivers’ licences on their phones with public consultation on its design now underway, Associate Transport Minister James Meager and Digitising Government Minister Paul Goldsmith say.
“Digital drivers’ licences are an important step towards making everyday interactions with transport services faster, easier, and more secure. This is about giving people a practical new option to prove who they are and their right to drive, using technology many already carry with them every day,” Mr Meager says.
“Our Government is committed to fixing the basics and building the future, and that is exactly what these proposals would achieve. It is about creating a simpler, more joined-up system where people can manage their transport needs online and receive important information quickly.
“Putting people at the centre of the design is essential to getting this right. We want to hear people’s views on the proposed approach, including what would give them confidence in that system.”
“I want to assure Kiwis that the licences are being designed with privacy and security at their core, allowing users to share only the information required for a transaction,” Mr Goldsmith says.
“This will be entirely optional. People who prefer a physical licence can keep using one, while those who want the convenience of digital will have that choice.
“Public feedback is a vital step in making sure digital driver licences are a safe, trusted, and widely used option. I encourage all New Zealanders to share their views,” Mr Goldsmith says.
Notes to editor:
The Regulatory Systems (Transport) Amendment Act, the legislation to enable digital driver licences and other transport service improvements, passed earlier this year.
This consultation seeks feedback on the detailed rules needed to put these changes into effect.
The consultation is being led by the New Zealand Transport Agency and will run for four weeks.
Police will continue to be able to check licence status through the driver licence register, moving to digital driver licence verification over time.
