        (1)         All licences granted, renewed varied or replaced under this Act must include a photograph of the holder of the licence.

        (2)         The Registrar may require the applicant for the grant or renewal of a licence or the holder of a licence that is to be varied or replaced—

            (a)         to attend at a specified place for the purpose of having his or her photograph taken; or

            (b)         to supply the Registrar with one or more photographs of the applicant or holder of the licence specified by the Registrar.

        (3)         Where an application is made for the grant, renewal, variation or replacement of a licence and—

            (a)         the applicant refuses or fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (2); or

            (b)         a photograph taken or supplied under subsection (2) is not suitable, in the Registrar's opinion, for inclusion in a licence,

the Registrar may suspend his or her consideration of the application until the applicant complies with the requirement or a suitable photograph is taken or supplied.

        (4)         Where the Registrar varies a licence on his or her own initiative and the holder of the licence refuses or fails to comply with a requirement under subsection (2)(a), the Registrar may suspend or cancel the licence.

        (5)         Where the Registrar is prepared to grant, renew vary or replace a licence but the new licence cannot be issued immediately, the Registrar may issue an interim licence that does not include a photograph of the applicant or holder of the licence.

        (6)         An interim licence does not come into force until the prescribed application fee has been paid and a receipt for the fee is printed on the licence and the licence remains in force for 28 days or until a licence that includes a photograph is issued to the applicant whichever first occurs.
