Can I drive as soon as I have the sealed order from the Court?

No.

You must then take your copy of the sealed Court order to the nearest NZTA agency and make application to the NZTA for the Limited Licence.

A nationwide list of NZTA agency offices can be found here:

The application form can be downloaded from here:

http://www.nzta.govt.nz/resources/application-for-limited-licence-dl15/d...

You will have to pay an application fee of $39.30.

If you do nothing more at this point, then you will be not entitled to drive until NZTA have made a decision on your application and if granted, you have received your new (pink) Limited Licence in the mail (this is sent out to you by NZ Post and may take a number of days to reach you).
