28 Grant of driver licence or learner permit after surrender or defacement

If the Secretary has required an applicant to surrender a non-Victorian licence or permit under regulation 27(2)(a), or to deface a non‑Victorian licence or permit document under regulation 27(2)(b), the Secretary—

(a) may grant the applicant a driver licence or learner permit with an expiry date that is the same as the expiry date of the non-Victorian licence or permit; and

(b) must waive the fee payable under section 21A of the Act or item 10 of Schedule 6 (as the case requires) if the
non-Victorian licence or permit was an Australian driver licence or learner permit.
