I live in Darwin and applied for my lr licence in late November, just as the build-up storms started rolling in. I thought I had all my documents ready, but Service NT sent me a letter saying my application was incomplete. I’ve got a standard open car licence, medical done, and ID provided. I’m confused about what could have gone wrong. Has anyone else in the Northern Territory had trouble with the lr licence application process and know what I might have missed?

Totally get how that feels — I had a similar headache with my lr licence when I first applied in the NT. I thought I’d ticked every box, but it turned out they wanted proof of address that matched exactly with my ID, plus a copy of my licence history from interstate before I moved up here. The letter I got from Service NT was pretty vague too, which didn’t help. What saved me a lot of back and forth was checking out Core Truck Driving School — I found their site handy because they actually explain the paperwork in plain English. Might be worth a look if you’re still chasing your application.
