Once a road test has been passed, a licence applicant age 16
through 24 is issued a probationary licence. Drivers age 25 and
over are issued a driver’s licence.
At a Société service outlet, a driver is issued a temporary
licence which he/she must keep until a plastic licence bearing
his/her photograph is received by mail, usually within 10 days.
Upon receipt of the photo licence, the driver must destroy the
temporary licence.
••• Probationary Licence •••
A probationary licence is valid for two years or until age 25,
whichever comes first. A probationary licence holder who turns
25 within the two-year period may obtain a driver’s licence at a
Société service outlet.
Probationary licence holders are subject to the same restrictions
that apply to a learner (maintaining a zero blood alcohol level
and a maximum of 4 demerit points). A probationary licence
holder is not allowed to serve as the accompanying rider for
someone who holds a learner’s or probationary licence.
