Several driver's licence fee line items and CPI escalator removed from regulation as fees move to Highway Traffic Act

Plain-language summary · AI-assisted

Multiple specific fee amounts that were previously set out in this regulation — including road test fees for Classes A through F and G1/G2/M1/M2, the general knowledge test fee, and the per-six-month licence validity fee — have been revoked from the regulation. The automatic annual Consumer Price Index adjustment mechanism (section 26.1) has also been removed entirely. These fees and any future adjustments will now be governed directly under the Highway Traffic Act rather than this regulation. The rules about when booked test fees are due, when they may be refunded or credited, and which individuals are exempt from fees (diplomats, viceregal officials, etc.) remain in place but have been updated to reference the Act's new fee provisions. Drivers, licence applicants, and commercial operators booking road tests or knowledge tests should verify current fee amounts through official Ministry sources, as the amounts no longer appear in this regulation.
