39 Renewal of registration

1 An application for renewal of the registration of a motor vehicle trader must be made to the Registrar before the date on which the registration expires.

1A The application for renewal must—

a) set out (with any necessary modifications) all the information specified in section 32(1) and (2)(a); and

b) be accompanied by the prescribed fee (which is the same as the fee for registration under section 31(2)(b) , unless a separate fee is prescribed); and

c) be accompanied by the levy imposed under section 143 (if any); and

d) include a certificate that confirms the matters identified in subsection (1B) and is signed by,—

i) if the application is made by an individual, that person; or

ii) if the application is made by a company, any person concerned in the management of the company.

1B The certificate to be included in the application must confirm—

a) that the applicant or, in the case of an applicant that is a company, every person concerned in the management of the company is not disqualified from registration as a motor vehicle trader in his or her own right; and

b) that the contents of the application are true and accurate.

1C The application for renewal may be accompanied by a statutory declaration of the kind referred to in section 40A(3)(b) , made by a person concerned in the management of the company, if the person has previously supplied only a certificate under section 40A(4) .

2 Sections 33 to 38 apply to an application for renewal of registration as if the application were an application for registration, except that—

a) an application for renewal is properly completed if it complies with subsections (1A) and (1B) of this section rather than with section 34(2) ; and

b) if the Registrar accepts the application, he or she must provide the applicant with written notice of the date on which the renewal of registration takes effect, instead of providing the things listed in section 36(b) .

3 If an application for renewal of registration has been made but not determined before the date on which the registration would otherwise expire, the registration continues in force until the application is determined.
