Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations(1) If a person who applies for the issue or variation of a driver licence under this Part is the holder of a current Australian driver licence or external driver licence, the person must surrender the licence to the road transport authority before the issue of a driver licence (including a driver licence as varied) to the person.
Note Under subsection 10 (2) of the Act the road transport authority may issue the licence if the authority is satisfied the current licence has been stolen, lost or destroyed.
(2) However, a person who is the holder of a current external driver licence may keep the licence if the road transport authority is satisfied that it would be unreasonable, in the circumstances, to require the licence to be surrendered.
