Keeping your licence current is essential for staying compliant and maintaining credibility.
Whether you’re renewing, replacing, or restoring your licence, here’s how to get it sorted.
Step 1: Know your licence status
First, determine what action you need to take:
a) Renew—if your licence is due or recently expired (within 3 months)
b) Replace—if your licence is lost, stolen, damaged, or your details have changed
c) Restore—if your licence was cancelled after being expired for more than 3 months.
