vic road convert overseas license Page 2

To convert an overseas licence in Victoria, book with VicRoads and bring proof of ID, Victorian address, your current licence, and a NAATI translation if it’s not in English.

If your licence is from a recognised country or you’re an experienced driver, you may be exempt from some tests; otherwise expect a knowledge test, hazard perception and a drive test.

Permanent residents usually need to convert within about six months of moving to Victoria, while temporary visitors can typically drive on their overseas licence if it’s valid.

Make sure the overseas licence is current, shows your date first licensed, and matches your identity; if not, bring a driving history letter from the issuing authority.

Fees apply, eyesight checks are standard, and automatic licences may limit you to autos until you pass in a manual.

Book early—test slots vanish faster than free parking in the CBD—and always confirm the latest rules with VicRoads before you rock up.
