transfer international licence to vic Page 5

Transferring an international licence to VIC is a VicRoads job, not a secret handshake. Book an appointment, bring your overseas licence, proof of identity and Victorian address, and an English translation or International Driving Permit if your licence isn’t in English. Depending on where your licence is from and how long you’ve been driving, you may need a knowledge test, hazard perception test, and possibly a drive test. Expect fees, an eyesight check, and a bit of bureaucracy—because of course. Temporary visitors can usually drive on their overseas licence (with translation if needed), but if you’re settling in, you’ll need to convert. Check VicRoads for the latest rules and any country-specific exemptions before you rock up.
