    What happens next

    You will be issued with a temporary licence or permit and your photo card will be posted to you.

    Full licence holders

    Probationary conditions may be applied to a driver's licence following a disqualification.

    Probationary conditions generally apply for 12 months, but may be longer in some instances.

    Provisional licence holders

    If you were on a P1 licence when the offence that caused the disqualification was committed, you will be issued with a three year provisional licence subject to P1 conditions for one year and P2 conditions for two years.

    If you were on a P2 licence when the offence that caused the disqualification was committed, you will be issued with a two year provisional licence subject to P2 conditions.

    If you held a learner's permit when the offence that caused the disqualification was committed, you will be issued with a learner's permit. You will need to hold the learner's permit for a minimum period of three months and re-sit both a practical driving test and hazard perception test before being able to progress to a provisional licence.

    Learner's permit holders

    You will need to hold the learner's permit for a minimum of 3 months before being able to progress to a provisional licence.

    If you passed the hazard perception test and a practical driving test but did not upgrade to your provisional licence prior to being disqualified, you are not required to undertake these tests again.

    If you have already progressed to a provisional licence but held a learner's permit when the offence that caused the disqualification was committed, you will need to apply for a learner's permit and re-sit both a practical driving test and hazard perception test.
