When driving with a learner licence, do you need to have your licence with you?

When you are driving with a learner licence in New Zealand, it is mandatory to carry your licence with you at all times while driving. This requirement serves several important purposes, including verifying your status as a learner driver and ensuring that you are complying with the conditions attached to your learner licence.
