Class 5 license card Question
 

Hey RS

Q for those of you that have recently obtained (or just have the new style) Class 5 license.

Does your license card itself have a DUPL on the back of the card by the hologram?

I passed my Class 5 test last week, but they only charged me $17 after I had passed the road test. I previously thought that when you passed the Class 5 exam you would have to pay $50 or $75 to get the license.

I'm worried because I don't wanna be pulled over for whatever reason, and get into trouble because there is something "wrong" with my license card in the form of having a duplicate license.

I read on ICBC that if you took and passed the Class 5 exam within 6 months of your Class 7N license expiring, its only $17, however I forgot when my Class 7N was going to expire.

So just wondering if any of you guys are in the same situation I am in.

i think DUPL = duplicate ??


same as me, i had my class 5 license way back and with DUPL on there. I dont know why and never ask ....

never lost my license in the past either...

gotten few tickets from the police these few years but they didnt mention anything either

Mine has dupl on it.. I think the reason is because if your license was renewed withing 6mo-1yr from the date of your new license you only have to pay $17.. I remember my license was going to expire before my test, so I had to renew it $75 ( I think) then when it came to my exam date I only had to pay $17 becuase it was just renewed. Plus if they charged me $75 twice in 6monthes I woulda been pissed..

My wife's says Dupl on hers as well, but that was cause she got a replacement one for the one that was lost when her wallet was stolen.

i recently got my enhanced DL and it says DUPL on the back as well...

it says duplicate because your N is valid for 5 years. When you get a class 5, your DL# is still the same and it says duplicate, as you might have another copy of your 7N somewhere.

^ Don't you have to surrender your Class 7N License in once you pass for your Class 5?

^
i surrendered my L to get my N, my N to get my enhanced N, my enhanced N to get my class 5, my class 5 to get my enhanced 5 =\

yeah they took my 7N after i passed

it doesnt matter anymore lol its probably no problem
