Renewing your licence

You'll be sent a renewal form before your current tow truck operator licence expires. It will tell you whether you're eligible for a 1, 3, or 5-year licence.

Make sure you renew before your present licence expires. Working under an expired licence is illegal.

Expired licences can be 'restored' (using the renewal form) if no more than 3 months have passed since the expiry date. If more than 3 months have passed, you'll need to reapply for your licence.

The Tow truck operator licence renewal application – PDF form provides all the information you need, including the documents you must supply, to lodge your renewal application.

Replacing your licence

If your tow truck operator licence has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, to replace it you'll need to:

Updating your details

Notify NSW Fair Trading in writing within 14 days if there are any changes to details listed under your tow truck operator licence.

If the updated details mean a new licence will need to be issued, there may be a replacement fee attached.
