64C. Duplicate licence

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.

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.

The duplicate general licence or special purpose licence issued under paragraph (2) has the same effect as the original licence.

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.

To avoid doubt, failure to comply with paragraph (4) is an offence.

The Registrar may, in his discretion, waive the fee payable under paragraph (2)(a) in whole or in part.
