Graduated licensing requalification

Under graduated licensing, novice drivers (Class G1, G2, M1and M2) progress through a two-step licensing process by completing the mandatory time periods for each level and passing the required road tests. Except for Class M1, novice drivers have five years to complete the graduated licensing process. However, if your Class G1, G2 or M2 license is about to expire and you have not completed the process, you can regain or retain the same class of license by passing a test and paying the five-year licensing fee. This is called ‘requalification.’ A notice is sent to Class G1, G2 and M2 drivers before their license expiry date to inform them of their options. If you do not complete the graduated licensing process or prequalify before your G1, G2 or M2 license expires, you will not have a license to drive and you must reapply for a Level One license.
