Kenny202 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Not sure if I am having a brain melt here or not but just checked my drivers license and says commenced 2015 and expires 2027? I remember the first one was for one year and always thought the second one you got was 5 years? How did I get a 12 year driving license or is that the norm?

Popular Post Kwasaki Posted February 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 6, 2023 They probably didn't like you so it gave them 12 years not to see you again. ???????? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Nice ... obviously a typo to your advantage ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark5335 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 My DL says "Issue Date 5/2009" and "Expiry Date 1/2027". But obviously I have renewed it several times during that timeframe. If you're prone to brain melts, maybe you had already renewed it in 2022 but can't recall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJCM Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Mine says issued 2012 and expiry 2024 so next year and that is correct. i renewed mine 5 years ago just after my birthday, so it would be valid for almost 6 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaiMaai Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I think the starting date will always remain the same as the original 5-year licence you get after the temporary one for each renewal. Only the expiry changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenny202 Posted February 6, 2023 Author Share Posted February 6, 2023 Yeah since found out that is the day your license first issued, was a brain fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, in fact in my own case the DL was issued in 2009 (being for my first 5 yr licence) as the 1 yr licence was issued in 2008. Since then I have done 3 renewals straight after my birthday (i.e., renewed for 6 years not 5), which adds up to 18 years between the issue date and current expiry date. Similarly, the Op got his first 5 yr licence in 2015 (issue date), and with the current expiry date of 2027, he may have gotten a renewal in 2021 (6 yrs), plus another 6 yrs bringing him to the current 2027 expiry date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
