22  Surrender of driver licence
 (1) The holder of a driver licence may apply, personally or by an agent who produces written evidence of his or her appointment as agent, to the driver licensing authority to surrender the licence.
 (2) The holder of a driver licence who applies for surrender of the licence must:
 (a) return the licence to the driver licensing authority; or
 (b) if the licence has been lost or destroyed—give the driver licensing authority a statement signed by the licence holder or agent that the licence has been lost or destroyed.
 (3) The driver licensing authority must approve an application for the surrender of a driver licence unless:
 (a) the holder of the licence has failed to meet the requirements of this supporting principle; or
 (b) the driver licensing authority is taking action to suspend or cancel the licence under principle 12 of the Primary Principles or supporting principle 23 or 24.
 (4) Subject to clause (5), if a driver surrenders his or her driver licence, the driver licensing authority may refund part of the fee for the issue of the licence, calculated in accordance with the formula:
× fee paid
where:
number of days is the number of unexpired whole days remaining of the licence period for which the fee was paid, from the day on which the driver licensing authority approves the application to surrender the licence;
licence period is the total number of days for which the licence was issued; and
fee paid is the amount, other than the administrative fee, paid for the issue of the driver licence.
 (5) The driver licensing authority may deduct from the refund the amount of any unpaid administrative fees incurred in respect of the driver licence.
