28 TfNSW not to issue or renew licence in certain circumstances
Transport for NSW must not issue a driver licence to a person unless it is satisfied that the person is a resident of this jurisdiction and that—
the person is eligible to be issued with, or to apply for, the driver licence, and
if the person is the holder of an Australian driver licence or a licence to drive a motor vehicle in a foreign country, that licence has been surrendered,
in accordance with the statutory rules.
However, Transport for NSW may issue a driver licence to a person without the person surrendering the person’s licence to drive a motor vehicle in a foreign country in circumstances prescribed by the statutory rules.
Transport for NSW must not renew a driver licence of a person if it is satisfied that the person is no longer a resident of this jurisdiction.
Subsections (1) and (3), to the extent that they require a person to be a resident of this jurisdiction, do not apply to a person who resides temporarily outside this jurisdiction.
This section does not limit the other circumstances in which Transport for NSW may refuse to issue or renew a licence.
