 (1) An applicant for issue or variation of a driver licence must give the driver licensing authority:
 (a) a completed application form; and
 (b) personal particulars necessary to identify the applicant, including any evidence that the authority may reasonably require to verify those particulars; and
 (c) the appropriate licence fee and administrative fee.
 (2) The driver licensing authority may not require the application form if it would be unreasonable or impracticable in the circumstances to do so.
 (3) The driver licensing authority may require an applicant for issue or variation of a driver licence:
 (a) to undergo tests or assessments, or provide other evidence of the applicant's knowledge of road law, driving ability, or suitability to hold a driver licence; and
 (b) to provide evidence of the applicant's compliance with the requirements of a law relating to the assessment of drivers convicted of offences involving alcohol or other drugs in force in the jurisdiction in which the person had last been disqualified from driving; and
 (c) to undergo, at his or her own cost, a medical examination, or produce evidence of compliance with the medical standards referred to in clause 16(2); and
 (d) to attend a specified medical practitioner or allied professional practitioner for the purpose of that examination; and
 (e) to provide evidence that he or she is eligible to be granted the class of licence sought; and
 (f) to have his or her photograph taken, or to provide a photograph in a form specified by the authority; and
 (g) to provide a specimen signature.
 (4) The driver licensing authority may accept evidence of compliance with a requirement in paragraphs (3)(a), (3)(b) or (3)(c) obtained by an applicant in another jurisdiction.
 (5) If the driver licensing authority is satisfied that it is not practicable for the applicant to comply with the requirements in paragraph (3)(b) of another jurisdiction, the authority may require the person to comply with the requirements of an equivalent assessment.
