Illustration for Land Transport Act 1998

The Agency must keep a register of transport service licences. You can find information about each licence in the register, including the holder's name and address. The register also shows the licence number and date of issue. The Agency keeps other information in the register, such as the class of transport services the licence applies to. They also keep information about any conditions on the licence and any orders made against the holder. You can apply to the Agency to see this information. If you want to see information about a transport service licence, you can apply to the Agency. You must pay a fee if one is prescribed, and you must describe the person you are asking about. The Agency can give you the information in writing, electronically, or orally. You are only allowed to see certain information without the licence holder's consent. This includes their name, the class of transport services, and any conditions on the licence. You can see more information if the licence holder agrees.
