What is an expedited renewal?

Answer: 

Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, road managers have fourteen days to assess a Renewal permit application request. If no response is received by the NHVR at the expiry of this time, the permit can still be issued (expedited).

To avoid any issues with your renewal(s), it is recommended that you submit your renewal application ahead of its expiry date (at least 16 days but not more than six weeks prior to permit expiry), to allow time for the NHVR to send your application to the road managers. Note: If you apply to renew a permit within 14 days of the expiry date, you may be without a permit until the renewal is issued. 

If an application for renewal is submitted after the expiry date of the permit, the NHVR is unable to renew the permit and it will be treated as a new application.
