Limited Licence Lawyer Blenheim

Limited licence application preparation for clients in Blenheim and the wider Nelson-Marlborough region.

Blenheim District Court handles limited licence applications for the Marlborough region. We prepare court-ready applications for anyone who has been disqualified or suspended.

Marlborough: wine country

Marlborough is famous for its wine industry, which employs thousands of workers in vineyards, wineries, and related services. These workplaces are spread across the Wairau Valley, Awatere Valley, and surrounding areas — all well beyond any public transport route. During vintage (March–April), losing a licence creates particular hardship for vineyard and winery workers.

Our service

We prepare complete limited licence applications for $749 + GST. Court filing fees and the NZTA reinstatement fee are payable separately.

Public transport in Blenheim

Blenheim has very limited public transport. A small urban bus service operates with low frequency. The wider Marlborough region — including the Marlborough Sounds and Awatere Valley — has no public transport.

Employment and industry

Marlborough is New Zealand's largest wine-producing region. Viticulture, horticulture, and related services dominate employment. Tourism (Marlborough Sounds), aquaculture (mussel farming), and farming are also significant.

Frequently asked questions — Blenheim

Yes. Vineyard work in rural Marlborough, where there is no public transport, is a strong basis for a hardship argument. The court considers whether you have realistic alternatives to driving.
