Every such fee shall be payable immediately upon the grant, renewal, or transfer of a passenger licence, as the case may be.

Fees shall be payable in the form of a Post Office Money Order payable to the Paymaster-General at the General Post Office, Dublin, and crossed " /& Co./" or in the form of a banker's draft or of a cheque guaranteed by the bank on which it is drawn payable to the credit of the account of the Paymaster-General, or if the amount of the fee does not exceed five shillings by payment in cash or by cheque or by Postal Order.

Every fee collected in respect of passenger licences shall be paid into the Exchequer.
