Where should I start if I live near North Harbour Reserve?
Enter your street rather than the Sydney Road stop. For the return, check how much walking the route involves from the bus stop to the foreshore.
When is my appointment confirmed?
The workshop will contact you about the request and agree a time with you. Wait for that confirmation before setting out.
What happens after a pass?
The examiner lodges the report electronically. You can then complete your renewal through Service NSW when the other requirements are met.
