When you surrender your recognition, it takes effect on the later of two dates. You need to look at the date specified in the notice given under section 112Q(1). The other date is when the Director-General records the surrender in the public register under section 112T(1)(b)(v) or removes you from the public register under section 112V(3).

The surrender happens on the date that is later, either the specified date or the date the Director-General updates the register. This means you have to wait until the Director-General has recorded the surrender or removed you from the register. The date of the surrender is the one that comes last.
