Application for renewal of licence
5 Application for renewal of licence
If—
the holder of a licence (the current licence) applies for the renewal of the licence before the end of its term, and
the most recent information held by the Secretary in relation to the current licence (the current licence information) remains unchanged when the application for renewal is made,
the application is not required to include the information and particulars referred to in clause 4 but is required to include the information and particulars referred to in subclause (2) of this clause.
Note.
Section 13 (3) of the Act provides that an application for the renewal of a licence is to be dealt with as if it were an initial application for a licence. This requirement is subject to the regulations.
The required information and particulars are as follows—
the name, address and contact details of the applicant,
the number of the applicant’s current licence,
a declaration by the applicant that the current licence information remains unchanged,
the signature of the applicant and the date of the application.
Despite subclause (1), the Secretary may refuse to grant the application if, in the opinion of the Secretary, the current licence information has changed and the information and particulars required by clause 4 have not been included in the application.
