The period of time a licence is issued for depends on the age of the applicant. There are 4 age brackets that the period of a licence falls under.
- If you are under 60 years of age, you may apply for a three or ten-year licence.
- If you are older than 60 but younger than 67 years of age, you may apply for a three-year licence or a licence that will expire the day before your 70th birthday.
- If you are older than 67 but under 70 years of age, you may apply for a three-year licence.
- If you are over the age of 70, you will need a certification of fitness to drive by your doctor to apply for a three-year or one-year licence.
- If your full driving licence expired 10 years ago, then you must complete a Driver Theory Test. Following completion of your Driver Theory Test, you can only then apply for a provisional licence and you will have to re-sit your driving test again.
