Limited Licence Lawyer Kapiti Coast

Limited licence application preparation for clients in Kapiti Coast and the wider Wellington region.

If you live on the Kapiti Coast and have been disqualified or suspended, a limited licence may help you maintain your employment.

Kapiti Coast transport

The Kapiti Line train provides a good link to Wellington, but it does not solve every transport need. If you work outside the CBD, your hours do not match train times, or your workplace is not near a station, the train is not a complete solution. Local bus services on the Kapiti Coast are limited.

Hardship on the Kapiti Coast

Even with train access, many Kapiti residents cannot rely on public transport alone. Cross-regional commutes, shift work, and trades work that requires driving to multiple sites are common situations where a limited licence is needed.

Frequently asked questions — Kapiti Coast

Having a train option does not automatically prevent you from getting a limited licence. If you need to drive for purposes the train cannot cover — such as getting to the station, work outside train hours, or driving for work purposes — these can support a hardship argument.
