Regulation 64C
Duplicate licence
Subregulation 1
A holder of a general licence or special purpose licence must apply to the Registrar for a duplicate general licence or special purpose licence in such manner as the Registrar may require if —
the licence has been lost or destroyed;
the licence has been accidentally defaced;
the figures or particulars on the licence have become illegible; or
the colour of the licence has been altered by fading or otherwise.
Subregulation 2
The Registrar may issue a duplicate general licence or special purpose licence upon being satisfied as to such loss, destruction, defacement, illegibility or alteration if —
a fee of $54.50 (inclusive of GST) for a duplicate general licence or special purpose licence is paid; and
in all cases except where the licence was lost or destroyed, the original licence is surrendered to the Registrar.
Subregulation 3
The duplicate general licence or special purpose licence issued under paragraph (2) has the same effect as the original licence.
Subregulation 4
In any case where the original general licence or special purpose licence is found at any time after the issue of the duplicate licence for a lost licence, the holder of the general licence or special purpose licence must surrender the original licence to the Registrar who issued the duplicate.
Subregulation 5
To avoid doubt, failure to comply with paragraph (4) is an offence.
Subregulation 6
The Registrar may, in his discretion, waive the fee payable under paragraph (2)(a) in whole or in part.
