Answer
NZ doesn't use title documents like the UK V5C — ownership is recorded on the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register. To sell your car in NZ, you need to be listed as the registered owner on the NZTA system (check free at rego.govt.nz), or have a signed transfer form from the previous owner. Lost paperwork is usually fine — the NZTA register is the authoritative record.
