RAPID (Rural Address Property Identification) assigns a unique address and number to rural properties with dwellings. RAPID numbers help locate your property, even on long rural roads. This is particularly useful for emergency services like the Police, Fire and Emergency, Ambulance, and Civil Defence.
How to apply for a RAPID number
You can apply online, or email info@codc.govt.nz. You will need to provide your:
- Property valuation number
- Postal address
- Phone number
- Number of RAPID plates required
Our Customer Services team will send you an application form, where you can mark your property entrance. Once returned, you will receive an invoice via email to pay online. The Roading Team will then issue your new RAPID plate(s).
