PSPLA APPLICATION FORM TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE
Between 9pm and 11pm on Tuesday 25 January 2022, the PSPLA Application form will be unavailable on the Ministry website for applying and renewing licences and certificates. This is due to scheduled updates to the webform, we apologise for any inconvenience.
PSPLA DELIVERY CHANGES
Starting Monday 15 November, all PSPLA products (including badges, licences and certificates) will be mailed directly to the company, residential or postal address provided in the application form.
No PSPLA products will be sent to NZ Post Office locations for collection.
There are 2 ways you can renew – online or by mail.
It’s faster and cheaper to renew online.
No refunds
If your renewal application is turned down or you make a mistake and have to reapply, you won’t get your fee back. This is because the fee covers what it costs us to process the application.
For more information about the rare cases we may give a refund, you can contact us.
Temporary certificate to work while training not needed for renewals
You don’t need to apply for a temporary certificate when applying for renewal. This is because your current licence or certificate stays active while we process the application – even if it passes the expiry date on the badge. We’ll show this information in the public register so people know your licence or certificate is still active.
Renew
If you already have a licence, it must currently be 'active' in order to renew.
If your licence has expired, go to the Apply Online page.
If your licence is active, follow the steps below.
To check if your licence has expired, search your details in the Public register of licence and certificate holders.
Make sure you:
- find your licence or certificate number (this is on your badge)
- fill in the form
- confirm your payment method
- give a suitable passport style photograph
- give details of your identification (ID)
- give proof of training and skills
