    passport to prove my identity

    I have no health issues, nothing has changed since my last test in 2014. This new one would be my second learners permit. Thank you :)

    If nothing has changed with your sight then you dont need a new one. If the old permit says you need glasses, then the new one will say the same

    If none of your personal details need to be amended (name, address, date of birth, place of birth etc.). All you'll need is the old permit, the form and the fee.

    You only need to establish your personal details, PPSN etc the first time. The expired permit is your ID.

    When I went to my first renew album I was turned away because I had no proof of PPS

    The way the proof of PPS works is that you only have to present it to the NDLS the first time you visit them regardless of whether it's your first time learner permit or replacing a lost full licence. This is for the NDLS to establish the link between your PPS number and your driver number.

    As both numbers are unique to an individual and never change, you don't have to provide that link ever again. The OP in this case presented to the NDLS in April 2014 for his first permit which was about 6 months after the NDLS took over from the Motor Tax Office. So he would not have to provide proof of PPSN this time or ever again.

    If you have presented proof of PPSN to the NDLS before and they turned you away, this was a mistake on their part.

    And form D401 is the wrong form. Learner permit renewal requires form D201
