Updating information
As at November 2020, you can email address/contact detail updates to tsl@nzta.govt.nz and if you are updating persons in control (PICs), you just need to fill out the TL04 and TL02s for each PIC (you will also need to make a payment of $9.70 for each additional PIC for their police vetting). Then you can scan and email this to tsl@nzta.govt.nz.
