    I think you're ok with just filling out a form for a new one
    You must pass the driver theory test before applying for a first learner permit (formerly called a provisional licence). If your provisional licence or /learner permit expired 5 years ago, then you must pass the theory test again before a learner permit will be issued.

    Like Wossack says, once you're inside the five years I think your ok...

    Don't let it go outside of the five years whatever you do! that's coming from someone who and had to complete theory test, IBT etc...

    on a related note,

    my second provo is up at the end of this month. Do I need to apply for the bike test before I get my 3rd provo to avoid having to do the IBT or can I apply in the new year on a 3rd provo?




    edit: I see I have to apply while still on the second provo :-(

    Not true dirk. You can apply for a test even when you LP is expired as you always have the same driver number printed on your licence. Just apply for the test, print off the confirmation letter and take it to the motor tax office with the form/fee/photos and you'll get a 3rd LP.

    Just don't let it lapse for 5 years!:eek:
