Got my renewal this morning - applied for it September ‘24!
My new license is 3 weeks away, apparently.
Applied mid November, old license expired mid December
Process has been pretty smooth really, especially as Christmas/ New Year was in there.
Mine is due in November, but I'm overseas in the middle of the year, so going to get on with it soon. Loosing a few months of licensed time is nothing compared to the stress of running out of time.
FWIW Applied for renewal 18th feb 2025,
Referees were interview Monday just been, 24th March.
My bit and security check next day, 25th
Email today saying licence approved and will receive license card in mail within 6-8 weeks ?
New expiry date is 10 years from my original expiry date in Mid May.
Over all pretty painless and straight forward.
Mine will be a bit over 4 months in the Waikato. Applied on the 8th of Jan, security inspection etc booked for the 23rd of aprilQuote:

I applied mid february as my license expired on the 14th of april, referee and wife interveiwed on the same day, 1 week later was my face to face interveiw and security inspection, all good and an email confirmation arrived 2 days later, as everyone else has said pretty painless and straight forward
Has anyone flown domestically on an expired licence. Roar trip next week. Licence expired late Feb, applied early Jan. I have the email from the FSA saying everything fine in the meantime, but just nervous about whether there will be issues with Air NZ.
Print a few copies of the FSA email and keep them handy on the trip.Quote:

interviews and checks done, wifes FAL arrived in 3 weeks, mine took 2 6 or 7 weeks despite checks being done at the same time.
interviewers comment was " you take your home security to extremes dont you!"
Been doing those 3 quizzes ,once a week.Keeps you up to speed.Interview next month some time.
Ring them a lot. The first time I rang that told me that my first referee was a bout to be contacted and it turned out that was the case.
THings like speeding tickets - more than 20 k over and things like that may make a big difference in individual cases. The people at the end of the phone will likely lie if that is the case or in some cases not be able to see the information (esp as the people you speak to are likely, almost certainly not sworn police officers).
7 rules in order,its like poetry.Get my visit in 2 weeks.
Got my renewal approved today. Applied 06 March 2025, so about 7 weeks. It was a fairly straightforward process. Pleased to see that the new licence expires 10 years after my current one expires, so there is no harm in applying early.
