I went to reregister my car only to find the previous owner has not changed the ownership over to me. The difficulty is the owner has gone overseas with no forwarding address. The car was bought on TradeMe but I cant find the sale on my Trademe. Any advice welcomed as to what do I need to do now.

That's actually the buyers responsibility to initiate registered ownership changes, and has been for many years. Best you go do it.

Yes, the previous owner does not need to be involved, you are looking to transfer the license over to you, ownership was transferred when you paid the money and took the car.

Do it on line, go to the NZTA site and change the vehicle ownership into your name (under the 'I've bought a vehicle' or whatever). It costs about $10, you can pay by credit card. Takes about 5 minutes, have your driver's licence handy too.
