Postal services
The focus of postal policy is to ensure that the regulatory environment, including competition in postal services, supports an efficient postal market in New Zealand.
- The Postal Services Act 1998 removed New Zealand Post Ltd's monopoly to carry standard letters.
- No one may carry letters for profit unless they are registered. If you intend to carry letters, as defined in the Postal Services Act 1998, you must register as a postal operator with us.
