Verification Process

Verification

All users of the Camplify platform are required to verify their identity. Camplify provides a secure process to complete your identity verification. This is required for all bookings, however some hirers may need extra steps to get verified. All your data is used in accordance with Australian and New Zealand Privacy standards, you can find out more information on our privacy policy here.

Domestic Hirers

The process for verification is simple, all we need is your driver's license and the address listed on it. This is checked by a secure third party verification service. If there are any issues with your verification, our team will be in contact via email with instructions on the next steps.

International hirers

International hirers are able to verify themselves through a series of steps. Generally, we require a driver's license from your country of origin and your passport. This can be provided by email so that the team is able to complete a manual verification.

If your international licence is not in English, a translation document may be required as per the NZ transport regulations.

If you have any additional drivers, they can be added at the time of collection, or by reaching out to Camplify on live chat.

Our team will work with you to complete your verification; however if you are experiencing verification issues, and your booking is commencing within 48 hours, please contact Camplify via Live chat.

Do I need to reverify for each booking?

Generally, you only need to complete the verification process once. However, Camplify may occasionally request re verification, especially if it's been a long time since your last booking.

What happens if my verification is rejected?

If your verification is rejected, you'll receive an email with instructions on what to do next. This might involve providing additional information or documents.

Do I need an International Driving Permit to hire an RV in New Zealand?

Whether you need an International Driving Permit depends on your country of origin and where you'll be driving. It's generally recommended for non-English licenses. Check with the relevant authorities or ask Camplify support for further guidance.

Can I use my foreign credit card for the booking and verification process?

Yes, Camplify accepts most major international credit cards. However, make sure your card doesn't block overseas transactions, as this could interfere with the booking process.

As an international hirer, do I need to provide proof of my travel plans?

While it's not typically required for verification, having your travel itinerary on hand can be helpful. Some owners might ask about your plans when you request a booking.

What if my country doesn't issue driver's licenses with an address?

If your driver's license doesn't include an address, you may need to provide an additional proof of address document. Contact Camplify support for guidance on acceptable documents.

Can I hire an RV if I've just arrived in New Zealand and don't have a local address?

Yes, you can. For international hirers, we'll require your home address when asked for an address during the verification process.

Do I need to provide my visa information as part of the verification process?

While visa information isn't typically part of the standard verification process, ensure you have the right to drive in New Zealand. Some owners might ask about your visa status.

Specific Verification Scenarios

What if I don't have a driver's license?

To hire an RV, you need a valid driver's license. If you don't have one, you won't be able to be the primary hirer, but you could travel as a passenger if someone else in your group has a license and can be the primary hirer.

Can I use a provisional or probationary license?

Camplify does not permit drivers with provisional (P1 or P2) or learner licenses to hire or drive an RV. You must have a full, unrestricted license.

Is there an age limit for verification?

Yes, you generally need to be between 21 and 84 years old to hire through Camplify. Some owners may have different age restrictions, which will be noted in their listings.

What if I've recently moved and my license doesn't show my current address?

If your license doesn't show your current address, you may need to provide an additional proof of address document. Contact Camplify support for guidance on acceptable documents.

Do I need to verify my identity for each additional driver?

Additional drivers can typically be added at the time of vehicle collection. Their license details will be recorded in the Pre-Hire Checklist, but they don't usually need to go through the full Camplify verification process.

What if I don't have a smartphone to complete the verification process?

While the process is easiest with a smartphone, you can complete verification on a computer. If you're having difficulties, contact Camplify support for assistance.

Can I hire an RV if I have a digital driver's license?

At present, New Zealand does not accept digital copies of International drivers licenses for driving purposes.

What should I do if I've lost my license just before my trip?

If you've lost your license, contact Camplify support immediately. You may need to provide alternative identification and proof that you've applied for a replacement license.

Do I need to verify my identity if I'm only creating an account to browse?

You can create an account and browse listings without going through the full verification process. However, you’ll need to complete verification before paying for an accepted booking.

What if I'm not comfortable providing my personal information online?

We understand concerns about online privacy. Camplify uses secure systems to protect your data. If you're uncomfortable with the online process, contact our support team to discuss alternative verification methods.
