Hello s 9(2)(a)
Thank you for your email and it’s great to hear that Auror are planning ahead for the
renewal.
Yes, a new direct debit form will need to be completed, I’ve attached this, along with the
application form for you to complete. The current authorisation for Auror Limited
expires on 13 September, however I would encourage you to submit your application as
soon as possible, as they can take a significant amount of time to process.
Since your application was previously granted in 2017, we have adjusted our approach to
the purposes and conditions of authorisation, making these more robust in light of the
considerable potential risks of allowing access to personal information and to better align
with recent changes to the Privacy Act. Section 241 access to the Motor Vehicle Register
is a privilege that needs to be treated very carefully, and as part of the application, Auror
RELEASED UNDER THE OFFICIAL 
Limited will need to demonstrate how it would avoid breaches of privacy, as instances of
unauthorised access can have severe consequences for the individual whose privacy has
been breached. As such, Waka Kotahi must be satisfied that Auror Limited has sufficient
measures in place to ensure that personal information will be protected and to prevent
instances of misuse before granting an application.


You can view the terms and conditions for some recently granted here:
https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/how-the-motor-vehicle-register-affects-
you/authorised-access-to-the-register/terms-and-conditions/ Hopefully these examples
will provide some clarity on the type of conditions you may see reflected, and we
suggest you keep these in mind when providing your answers to the questions on the
application form. Think carefully about how you would meet each condition and how
you could then supply evidence to Waka Kotahi of doing so. Any evidence of your
current recording processes, privacy policies and staff training materials should also be
supplied with your application.
If you have any questions please let me know.
Kind regards

Application for authorised access to current names  
CA05 
and addresses in the Motor Vehicle Register
Anyone can apply for an authorisation from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency to access current names and addresses in the 
Motor Vehicle Register.
Applications for access are made under section 241 of the Land Transport Act 1998. Waka Kotahi consults with the Ombudsman, 
Privacy Commissioner and Police Commissioner (our advising agencies) before deciding whether to grant an authorisation. An 
authorisation should be for a specific purpose and is subject to any conditions specified by Waka Kotahi.
We suggest you view some of the current terms and conditions (which you can view in detail here: www.nzta.govt.nz/authorised-
access-mvr/tc) then think carefully about how you would meet each condition and how you could then supply evidence to 
Waka Kotahi of doing so.
For more information visit the Waka Kotahi website at www.nzta.govt.nz/authorised-access-mvr
Use this application if you want authorisation to access current names and addresses in the Motor Vehicle Register only (this does 
not include details of previously registered persons). You don’t require an authorisation to access non-personal vehicle information 
(eg make, model, licence expiry dates, etc.). This authorisation does not allow access to details about finance owing on vehicles. 
That information is held by the Personal Property Securities Register (www.ppsr.govt.nz/cms).

employed (continued)
All employees are provided with training on privacy, information security,

employee that requires access to the register also has training on our 
debt recovery and MVR access process. 
ACT 1982
What controls do you have in place to ensure that those who are likely to have access 
handle the information properly?
Our business involves handling sensitive personal information every day – we already work closely with NZ Police and safely share sensitive 
information with them. We have processes and policies (including our privacy policy) that ensures information is handled properly.
We have a well developed process for access to the MVR which includes overnight batch requests and the resultant data is uploaded into our 
software which then automatically generates the letters to be sent off for printing and delivery. This means that our employees do not need to 
view the personal information that is provided by the MVR. Once the letter process is complete (this occurs on a weekly basis), the MVR data file 
is hard deleted from the employee’s device.
Employees accessing the Motor Vehicle Register use Auror provided devices and these devices are protected by endpoint protection and 
antivirus solutions. All systems (including our debt recovery process system) that hold Sensitive Data are hosted in Microsoft Azure. Security 
configuration standards are reviewed annually and on significant business change and all changes to the configuration of our controls 
automatically alert our security channels and email. 
Our debt recovery system is designed to:

What disciplinary measures can you take against those who do not handle the 
information from the register properly?
Access to this information will be tightly controlled and we have the right 
to revoke access to this information for any staff or agents that do not 
handle this information properly. 
Failure to follow Auror policies and procedures may result in disciplinary 
action, up to and including termination of employment.

What are your reasons for not collecting the information directly from the individual 
concerned?
INFORMATION 
The individual has visited a fuel station and driven-off without paying for the fuel or 
providing their contact information (intentionally or unintentionally). 
What are your reasons for not collecting the information from a source other than the 
register?
We are not aware of any other source that we can get the vehicle owner 
information based on the vehicle registration. 
What are you reasons for not seeking confirmation of the registered person through 
the Waka Kotahi free online service?  
(https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/transactions/ConfirmRegisteredPerson/entry)
The Waka Kotahi requires:
the vehicle’s plate number
the name or driver’s licence number of the person being confirmed. 
Since the individual is visiting a fuel station and drives-off without paying for fuel or providing their contact information, the fuel site would not be able to obtain the name or driver’s licence number. 
What are your reasons for not asking for the information through the Official 
Information Act 1982?
Our customers have more than 100,000 incidents a year and many of these incidents may 
require details. Therefore, requesting these under the Official Information Act 1982 would be 
time-consuming for everyone involved (including NZTA).

It also provides them with a link to pay the money owed online or to visit the applicable fuel site.

experience without judgement or presumptions of

The automated process we undertake on behalf of our

Further, many fuel stations now have Automatic

prevents vehicles from obtaining fuel if that vehicle
has been involved in a non-payment event where
money is still outstanding. By utilising Auror’s
