Removal of Licence Disqualification

About removal of licence disqualification

A court can order the removal of licence disqualification on application. If your driver’s licence was disqualified in Queensland for over two years, you can apply to get your licence back, subject to certain conditions. This also applies to an absolute driver’s licence disqualification.

Before applying, you must have already served at least two years of the licence disqualification. The two-year period starts when the Court disqualified your driver’s licence and does not include any prior period where you were suspended due to the operation of a traffic law.

The application is only available if a Court in Queensland imposed your licence disqualification. There are rules as to which Court the application is commenced in. Our Traffic Lawyers are experienced in making applications for the removal of disqualification and can assist you through the process.

When you contact one of our Traffic Lawyers, we will check whether you are eligible to make an application. If applicable, we will need to see your criminal and traffic histories, including interstate history. We can tell you how to go about obtaining these documents.

If you are not presently eligible, our Traffic Lawyer will advise you when you will become eligible. Due to their experience in traffic law, our Traffic Lawyers will also discuss options you can do in the meantime so that your application for removal of disqualification will be successful when the time comes.

The application for removal of licence disqualification must include supporting affidavit and documentation. It can take around eight weeks for a Court to hear your application. The material has to address any concerns of the Court if the removal of licence disqualification is made.

An application to remove licence disqualification is a complicated process, particularly if you have received cumulative disqualification periods. Don’t risk your chances of success by using an inexperienced lawyer. Contact our Traffic Lawyers to see how we can help you.
