On issuing a driver licence, the Registrar must record the following information in respect of the driver licence in the driver licence register:the holder's name; the holder's date of birth; the holder's residential address; if there is no postal service to the holder's residential address, a postal address for the service of notices on the holder; the licence number; a copy of the photograph included on the licence as required under regulation 32(2)(e); the class of the licence, or if the licence is issued both as a licence of a particular class in the hierarchy of licence classes and as a motor cycle licence, both those classes; if the licence is a learner licence or a provisional licence, the licence type and, if it is a provisional licence, the date on which it ceases to be a provisional licence; the commencement date and expiry date of the licence; each condition to which the licence is subject.
The Registrar may record other information in the driver licence register – for the purposes of the Act or any other Act; or for any other purposes that the Registrar considers appropriate.
The Registrar must keep the information as recorded in the driver licence register up to date by – recording a later variation, renewal, suspension, cancellation, expiry or surrender of the driver licence; and ensuring that the information recorded in the register reflects the most recent information, about the licence and the holder of the licence, available to the Registrar.
