Subject to a two for one policy. Any licence number that does not commence with the 5000 series is a restricted licence and is subject to the two for one policy. If you purchase a restricted licence you cannot use it until you purchase another restricted licence, and then surrender both licenses back to the NT Government. You are then issued with an unrestricted licence. This licence can be sold and is no longer subject to the two for one.
