Removing pink stickers

The VIRM: In-service certification states that a vehicle that has had a pink sticker issued must be inspected by a vehicle inspector employed by a Transport Service Delivery Agent (TSDA) before the sticker can be removed. It also states that the vehicle owner must take evidence of the inspection to the Police to remove the flag from their system. Pages 2-1-13 and 3-2-1 of the LATIS agents manual (used only by TSDAs) outline the process for removing a pink sticker from LANDATA. Please note that this only applies if the pink sticker has been recorded in LANDATA in the first place (ie, it was issued by Land Transport NZ). In this case, the operator does not need to provide evidence to Land Transport NZ unless they are specifically instructed to on the sticker notice. This will be clarified in the LATIS agents manual in the next amendment.

Yes you need to go & have it inspected by VTNZ, they basically give it a new WOF, but charge you $60 or $70 for it because it's been stickered. Then take the WOF check sheet into central police station, & will take it off system

when i went to get my greenie removed it was $90. doesnt have to be VTNZ, other places do it too. be prepared for cops that have no idea what to do with the info when you get to the station too, mine didnt know what to do with the paper, i had to explain it to them. the cop that gave you it should have given you a run down on what you needa do to get it taken off, mine did

any LTSA approved place can deal to pink stickers - vtnz, vinz, onroad etc - it doesn't JUST have to be vtnz

and sticker now has to go through vtnz or vinz etc, you used to be able to get a green sticker off at any wof place but that has now changed.
I took a car to vtnz with a pink and it cost only $42

most of those guys are pretty ok to talk to and they have no idea about cars tho, you wont have much of a problem if you are nice to them i got the batty thru with out changing anything really at all, just new tyres and lifted up the rear suspension a few mm (its still lower than its ment to be)
