12 Form of certificate

(1) A certificate of competency must include the following:

(a) the name of the person to whom it is issued;

(b) the date of birth of the person;

(c) a passport-style photograph taken in the 6 months before the person applied for the certificate;

(d) the date the certificate comes into force;

(e) the date the certificate ceases to be in force;

(f) the kind of certificate;

(g) conditions imposed by the national Regulator on the certificate;

(h) the endorsements (if any) on the certificate.

(2) However, after the National Regulator decides to issue a certificate of competency and before the person to whom it is issued receives it, a letter from the National Regulator setting out the details of the certificate of competency is taken to be a certificate of competency.

Note This is intended to allow the person to use the certificate while the plastic card including the photograph is prepared and before the person receives it.

(3) A certificate of competency may include anything else the National Regulator considers relevant.
