Class type amendments

To change the class type of your licence, you can apply for a new licence or apply to amend your existing licence. To change your class type from Class B to Class A, you’ll need to apply for a new licence. Applications for a new licence incur a fee. Other licence amendments are free.

When you apply to amend a licence, the online form uses your current licence information. This means you may not need to supply all supporting documents required for a new application.

Amending your licence will not change your current licence expiry date
