35 Expiry of driver licence
(1) Unless renewed, cancelled or surrendered, a driver licence expires at midnight at the end of the day recorded in the driver licence register as the licence expiry date.
(2) Nothing in these regulations prevents the Registrar from amending the driver licence register, on the Registrar's own initiative, to extend the licence expiry date in respect of a driver licence.
(3) The last day of the term for which a driver licence is issued or renewed (the licence expiry date) is to be recorded in the driver licence register and on the driver licence.
(4) If the Registrar extends, on the Registrar's own initiative, the licence expiry date in respect of a driver licence under subregulation (2) , the Registrar is to notify the holder of that driver licence of the new licence expiry date for that driver licence.
