Part 3Operator certificates
38Expiry, renewal, and replacement of certificate
A certificate expires 1 year after the date on which it is issued.
A certificate holder may apply, at any time within 2 months before the expiry of his or her certificate, for renewal of the certificate, in which case section 35 applies as if the application for renewal were an application for a certificate.
If an application for renewal is made, but not determined, before a certificate expires, the original certificate does not expire until the application for renewal is determined.
The Registrar may issue a replacement certificate to a certificate holder if—
- the holder applies for a replacement certificate and the Registrar is satisfied that the original certificate has been lost or destroyed; and
- the holder supplies 1 or more recent photographs of himself or herself that comply with the prescribed requirements and are authenticated in the prescribed manner; and
- the holder pays the prescribed fee (if any).
