Part 2Licences and certificates
Obligations of certificate holders

33Updating certificate information

  1. If any of the details that were included on the certificate application change (for example, the certificate holder’s contact address), the certificate holder must advise a Licensing Authority of the change.

  2. On receiving advice under subsection (1), a Licensing Authority must, if those details are reflected on the certificate that has been issued, issue an amended certificate. An amended certificate is not a new or renewed certificate.

  3. If an amended certificate is issued, the certificate holder must immediately return the old certificate to a Licensing Authority.

  4. A certificate holder commits an offence, and is liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding $2,000, if he or she fails without reasonable excuse to comply with subsection (1) or subsection (3).
