The Department of Vehicle and Drivers' Licensing (DVDL) is urging motor vehicle owners with temporary licence plates to replace them for permanent plates by May 31, 2022. All temporary plates will cease to be legal end of May. The temporary laminated licence plates can be switched at DVDL’s Crewe Road location on Mondays to Fridays, 8.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. Failure to replace temporary plates is a criminal offence, with a fine of $2,500 or up to six months imprisonment, or both.
