Hi all
I’ve just had a rash of enquiries with students wanting to make a colour, enlarged photocopy of their driving licence for an application to Corrections Dept for voluntary work.
Just a reminder that if they don’t have access to a colour copier one way to do this is to make a colour scan, and then copy the scan into Paint, resize it, and copy again to word, then print it to the colour printer (and change the default settings from b/w to colour).
Thanks
Isabel
The colour copier in Education has a note on it (from the manufacturer) giving a list of things that are legally prohibited from being copied. This includes licences. Does this apply in NZ?
MMM… interesting. Seeing as it is a government department requesting the copy of the driving licence perhaps they need to know their own law. Or possibly the note on the copier is incorrect. I shall ask our trusty law liaison librarians for an opinion!
Disclaimer! This does not replace "actual" legal advice. From a lawyer, for example. But, I can find no mention of this being illegal practice in New Zealand. In fact the AA website recommends copying your NZ driver licence when applying for an international licence. Sara
