Pensioner fee exemption for Photo Card

The NSW RTA has announced that it will now exempt pensioners from the previously imposed fee of $44 for a Photo Card.  The exemption is effective from 30th April 2010.  Eligible pensioners who applied for ID Cards after December 17 and were charged the $44 can go into their local motor registry and apply for a refund.

The NSW Photo Card is a voluntary identification card for people who do not hold a current NSW driver licence or other form of photo identification, to help them prove who they are.

The Photo Card )was introduced in December 2005 and replaced the proof of age card. Previously there were no pensioner concessions for photo cards.
