What to check first
For many decisions the objection period is 6 weeks. Not every date in the letter is automatically the deadline.
- decision date
- receipt date
- objection clause
- proof of sending or receipt
Important: an objection does not automatically suspend the CBR decision
If your CBR letter says you may not drive or that your licence is invalid, suspended or retained, do not drive without official confirmation that you may do so.
An objection or PDF draft is not permission to drive. Check your own letter and seek professional help if unsure.
When this is urgent
This page is general information, not legal advice. Always check your own CBR letter, legal deadline and official instructions.
- the letter contains an objection deadline, response deadline or appointment date
- the letter mentions consequences for your licence, course, investigation or examination
- you are not sure whether the letter is a decision, invitation or request for information
Which documents to prepare
First prepare the documents needed to understand the letter calmly. Upload only what is really necessary.
- CBR letter with reference
- proof of receipt or sending
- earlier CBR correspondence
- relevant medical, course, payment or police documents
How to treat six weeks carefully
Many objection periods are six weeks, but calculation follows publication/service and the instruction in your decision. Do not assume the receipt date always saves the deadline.
- check the objection clause
- keep proof of receipt or sending
- note the safest earlier date
- seek help if the deadline is almost over
