So you've landed in Queensland and want to swap that foreign licence for a local one without the usual rigmarole? Good news: if your overseas licence is from a recognised country, you might just breeze through the process. Typically, you'll need to provide proof of identity, your current overseas licence, and pass an eyesight test.
Keep in mind, some licences require you to sit a practical driving test, especially if they're from non-reciprocal countries. The fees vary but expect to pay around $90 to $150 AUD. For the nitty-gritty, the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads is your best mate.
Remember, the process can be a slog if your paperwork isn't in order, so double-check everything before you dive in.
