ubonjoe Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 You will have to get another one. There have been reports of people having to get 2 of them at the same time since they are written for a specific purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a cat in hell's chance of DLT accepting a copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is people like yourself keep regurgitating this myth Then you got away lightly, it is not a myth, it is fact, one original per license is actually required to the letter of the law, same as registering a vehicle. Try getting a residency certificate from your embassy and then use a copy. The residency certificate would also normally indicate what purpose it is required for. Like most things here, it is dependant on the DLT office and who you deal with at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you go into DLT with your carefully prepared documents for both car and bike licences the same person reviews all docs and can see the original and copy and is happy and it goes to the next stage.
