• A refund fee may be charged if the assessment results in the rejection of your application. This will also be applied if you choose to cancel your application.

The extended Licence will be issued with the expiry date that it previously had unless an additional fee is paid to extend the validity for a further 5 years. Licences are valid once signed by the holder.
