Regulation 11

On application being made to the Director‑General in the prescribed manner, the Director‑General may grant to the applicant a renewal of any licence held by the applicant or may, if the Director‑General thinks fit, refuse to grant a renewal of the licence.

Section 7 of the Act and regulation 9 shall apply to every application for the renewal of a licence as if it were an application for a new licence.

In granting any renewal of a licence, the Director‑General may endorse the existing licence or he may issue a new licence in lieu thereof, but every such new licence shall show on the face thereof that it is a renewal of the licence.

Every application for the renewal of a licence shall be made not later than one month before the date of expiry of the current licence or within such further time as the Director‑General may allow in any particular case.

The renewal of a licence may be granted in advance and shall, unless previously cancelled, take effect from the expiry date of the licence.

Where application for renewal of a licence is made under this regulation, the licence shall, where the application is not disposed of before the date of expiry of the licence, continue in force until the application is disposed of.

Subject to section 33 of the Act, every decision of the Director‑General on an application for renewal of a licence under this regulation shall be final.

In this regulation, “licence” does not include an N2 licence.
