How do I swap my license?

    Hi All,

    I am 25 and currently hold an A Category which I got before 19th January 2013 (so its now a A2 Category); my question is this; I have seen in the official documentation Here on RSA that I can apply for the new unrestricted A Category learner permit given my age and fortune :).

    How do I do this? do I go in and fill out a form and hand in my old license? is there any fees/tests associated with the swap? Please let me know as I really want to do this before they change the rules again :)

    To clarify, see section A13:B on Page 9 in the RSA Document

    Regards,
    Justin

    You need to go and do the IBT level 5
    I think its about 300 euro .Get the cert and send off your licence

    Hi,

    Thanks for the quick reply, I have modified the original post slightly as I mean swapping to the new A Category Learner Permit not full license; do I still have to do IBT Level 5?

    Regards,
    Justin

    Hi Justin
    I think if you have up to level 4 which you have must likely done Its just a straight change of licence And then before you go to do your test you will have to complete level 5

    Apply for a new 'A' learner permit, complete application form, two photo's & fee 35 Euro.

    If no IBT before, complete modules 1,3,5 (18-Hours), if you have completed IBT before, modules 1,2,3,4 you will now have to do module 5 (11-Hours).

    If you got you Learner permit before the IBT began, you hold a 25kw restriction. You are over 24, so you need to apply for an unrestricted A Learner permit and complete the full IBT course (18hrs) modules 1,3 and 5.
    When you complete the ibt course,there will be no need to have your bike restricted anymore.

    Module 5 is for people who have already done IBT before the new rules which came on jan 19th 2013.

    Despite the initial cost of the IBT it's 100% worth it and in the end you'll have a full 'A' licence for life!

    Thanks a million, I have already done 1, 2, 3 and 4; I will apply for new license and when it comes through do the Module 5

    Agreed 100%; it's a great course and very helpful to new riders (like myself)
