With regard to a person who holds a license (excluding one pertaining to a provisional license; the same applies in Article 107) and an Individual Number Card bearing a license information record, when a public safety commission has revoked the person's license pursuant to Article 104-2-2, paragraph (1), (2), or (4), Article 104-2-4, paragraph (1), (2), or (4), or Article 104-4, paragraph (2), it is to carry out the issuance of a license under Article 106-3, paragraph (2) and the rewriting of the license information record under paragraph (2) of the preceding Article only where that person has returned the license pursuant to Article 106-3, paragraph (1) and presented the Individual Number Card bearing a license information record pursuant to paragraph (1) of the preceding Article.

When a license is granted, pursuant to paragraph (3) of that Article, to a person who has held only an Individual Number Card bearing a license information record for a license revoked pursuant to Article 104-4, paragraph (2), the license is deemed to have been granted, notwithstanding Article 92, paragraph (1), by the rewriting of the license information record under Article 106-4, paragraph (2).

A person who has had an Individual Number Card bearing a license information record in respect of the license the person currently holds (other than a provisional license) and who has come to have neither a license nor an Individual Number Card bearing a license information record, due to deletion of the license information record pursuant to Article 103-2, paragraph (4) or Article 106-4, paragraph (1), item (ii) or other circumstances, is deemed to be a person who continues to have the Individual Number Card bearing a license information record that the person most recently had, and the provisions of Article 95-2, paragraph (11), Article 95-5, paragraphs (2) and (3), Articles 101 through 101-4 (other than Article 101-2-2, paragraph (3)), Article 101-4-2, paragraph (3) and Article 105 apply to that person. In such a case, the phrase "rewriting the license information record recorded on the Individual Number Card bearing a license information record that the person seeking that renewal currently has" in Article 101-4-2, paragraph (3) is deemed to be replaced with "issuing to the person seeking that renewal a document certifying that the renewal has been made".
