Single licence concept

Application

This standard, which permits a driver to hold only one licence, has been implemented to ensure that driving violations are assigned to a single licence and that no opportunity exists to use multiple licences to avoid prosecution and suspension.

Procedure

Upon application, a driver must surrender any out-of-jurisdiction licences to the Registrar. The home jurisdiction is notified that the licence has been surrendered to the Yukon Territory and the driver’s record will be updated accordingly. A record exchange system will permit the Registrar to determine the licensing status of the applicant.

Law

Motor Vehicles Act, Section 6(3)

Classified licence system

The table below outlines the vehicles which may be driven by a holder in each class. Vehicles equipped with air brakes may only be operated if the appropriate authorization has been obtained.
