Today I received my replacement South Australian drivers licence in the post. I had lost my original one several months again.

To obtain this replacement, I:

a) requested the sending of a form

b)visited the embassy in Ankara for a witness to my signature; and

c) sent back the completed form along with a credit card authorisation for AUD$11

The funny thing is the diplomat’s signature at the embassy cost AUD$20, almost twice as much as the licence itself!
