  • Halting the routine testing of vehicles and refunding licensees for unused tests
  • Automatically renewing all vehicle licences due to expire before 31 May 2020 and not requiring the renewal test (refunding those already paid for unused renewal test)
  • Issuing new plates for renewed vehicles at no additional cost to licensees
  • Deferring payments for those who have not yet submitted or paid for a vehicle or driver renewal licence until 31 July 2020
  • Renewing driver licences for 15 months but only charging for the cost of a 12 month licence
