Illustration for Outer Space and High-altitude Activities Act 2017

When you apply for a licence or permit in New Zealand, the Minister can consider a licence or authorisation you were granted in another country. The Minister can use this to decide if you meet some or all of the criteria for a launch licence under section 9, a payload permit under section 17, an overseas launch licence under section 25, an overseas payload permit under section 33, or a facility licence under section 40. This can help the Minister make a decision about your application.

If the Minister grants you a licence or permit based on a licence or authorisation from another country, it will only come into effect after the overseas licence or authorisation is granted. You will have to wait until the other country's licence or authorisation is approved before your New Zealand licence or permit can start. The Minister will use the information from the other country to help make a decision about your application in New Zealand.
