What Happens When The Department Makes Its Decision?
1. If the Department grants a licence, you will be advised and asked to pay the fee. The Licence (RFL 2) will show:
- type of Licence
- the operating centre
- the business premises
- the Transport Manager's address and name
- any conditions which may be included on the Licence
- expiry date of licence
2. You will also be sent an application form for a Road Freight Vehicle Licence (one for each vehicle). Once this has been granted you will receive a vehicle disc which will show:
- the operator's name and licence number
- the vehicle registration mark
- the Licence expiry date
- the type of Licence
The vehicle disc must be displayed on the windscreen of the vehicle to which it belongs - it may not be used on any other vehicle. The discs are colour coded as follows:
(1) Blue - National Licence.
(2) Green - International Licence.
3. If you lose your Licence or a vehicle disc, the Department must be told in writing.
If the Department is satisfied with your explanation a replacement will be issued.
Where the writing on the disc has faded, you can get a replacement from the Department by returning the old disc with details of your Licence number and the vehicle registration mark.
