Performing an NZTA Data check...


You can use the NZTA data feed to quickly check and populate vehicle details for either existing or new vehicles. 


To keep it simple, in this guide we will run through the process for an existing vehicle, to make use of the features like 'Compare'. It's a very similar process when entering a new vehicle, except for a new vehicle there is no need or use for the compare feature!


Go to Workshop > Vehicle Maintenance then find and edit the desired vehicle.


Provided you have Set up your NZTA Data feed you should see the NZTA Data button shown below, click this to start:


You should now be prompted to select the type of data check you wish to perform:



  1. Here you select the type of NZTA Data lookup you want to perform
  2. This displays a description of the currently selected data request type
  3. Pricing of the selected request type will be displayed in red
  4. Click Proceed to proceed with the selected data lookup


*A valid RMVT number is required in order to perform Full, Ownership and PPSR check types. This should be provided to us during the registration process, as outlined in the NZTA Data Feed - Setup KB article.


Once you have clicked proceed, the following loading screen should display:


And once the lookup is complete you will now see the results.



Optional - Printing the Results


The Print button shown in the bottom right will produce a printable report of all the data returned from the NZTA Data Feed


Quick 'Check and Update'


If this is a New Vehicle you will not see the "Compare" button, instead as soon as the look-up results have been returned, your vehicle will be updated with the details pulled down from the NZTA/CarJam database, so you can click 'Close' on the results window and you will be returned to the vehicle details screen. Just make sure you remember to click Save to save the imported information against the vehicle!


If you simply want to quickly update your current vehicle details, click the Compare button at the bottom left of the results screen, and you will be presented with a list comparing the NZTA look-up results and your current data:



Select the Fields to Update

By default all fields will be ticked, however, if you do not wish to update any specific fields, just untick the box to the left, then click Update to update your vehicle records accordingly.
