Administrative driving prohibition review process

If you have been served with an Administrative Driving Prohibition, you may apply to the Registrar for a review within 7 days of being served with the notice. You must file an application within the 7 day time period and pay the Registrar all applicable fees.

Note: The filing of an application for review does not stay the Administrative Driving Prohibition, or give the Registrar any discretion to revoke a driving prohibition or to grant conditional licences because the imposition of the driving prohibition causes hardship, whether personal, financial or otherwise.
