20  Renewal of a driver licence
 (1) A person may apply to the driver licensing authority to renew his or her driver licence at any time within five years after the licence expiry date by giving the authority:
 (a) an application for renewal of the driver licence in the form approved by the authority; 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 renewal fee and administrative fee.
 (2) The driver licensing authority may require the applicant to comply with any of the requirements of clause 4(3) in addition to the requirements specified in clause (1).
 (3) Subject to clause (4), the driver licensing authority must renew the driver licence.
 (4) The driver licensing authority may refuse to renew a driver licence if the circumstances are such that, if the applicant for renewal were applying for a new licence, the authority would refuse that application under clause 6(1).
 (5) If a driver licence (in this clause called the old licence) is renewed, the expiry date of the new licence may be calculated from:
 (a) in the case of renewal before, on, or within six months after the licence expiry date of the old licence—that date of the old licence; or
 (b) in the case of renewal within five years after the licence expiry date of the old licence—the day the licence is renewed.
 (6) A person whose driver licence is not renewed within five years after the licence expiry date is not entitled to apply for a renewal, but may apply for a new licence in accordance with supporting principle 4.
