Driving Change
in the Community
When you choose our driving school, you reduce barriers to participation, empower individuals, contribute to local growth
At Passport2Drive (P2D), we believe that learning to drive is more than just a skill. It’s a step toward independence, opportunity, and belonging.
Established in 2016, we are proudly a community-based driving school specialising in supporting migrants, refugees, and others who face barriers accessing driver education.
Our team includes qualified, I-Endorsed and bilingual instructors; who are patient, culturally sensitive and support learners feel safe and confident behind the wheel.
What makes P2D unique is the support we offer beyond the car.
From on-site test bookings to interpreting and document translation services in over 60 languages, we provide everything learners need in one place.
Driving lessons are held in dual-controlled vehicles and we offer affordable car hire for practice and community rates for students, individuals, and not-for-profit organisations.
At Passport2Drive, we’re committed to helping every learner become a confident, capable, and safe driver—for their future and for the safety of everyone on the road.

International Conversion
If you are driving on an international licence, this is only valid for 12 months from your date of arrival in New Zealand.
To qualify for a full New Zealand driver’s licence, you must have completed the conversion process before your international licence expires.
The process can be complicated, so let us guide and support you through it.
If your original licence is not in English, we can provide certified translation services (additional fees apply).
