Adding a photo to your card

You may choose to add a photo to your SuperGold Card.  This could be useful if you do not have a current form of photo identification, such as a driver licence or passport. 

To arrange for a photo to be added to your card, visit your nearest AA Driver and Vehicle Licensing outlet  with your card, along with two forms of identification that verify your name, date of birth and New Zealand residency status. When applying for a photo you will need to provide the following identification from the table below:

    * one document from column A and
    * one document from column B (if photo identification is provided) or
    * two documents from column B (if no photo identification is provided)

Your photo will be taken and a new card will be posted to you, free of charge.
