change licence from nsw to qld

Moving north and need to swap your NSW licence for a QLD one? Easy enough—head to a Transport and Main Roads service centre within 3 months of becoming a Queensland resident.

Bring proof of identity, evidence of your QLD residential address, your NSW licence, and any medical clearance if needed; they’ll do an eyesight check and take a flattering new mugshot (allegedly).

If your NSW licence is current and equivalent, no test—just surrender it and pay about $85–$360 depending on 1–10 year term (10-year available to eligible ages).

Provisional/learner conditions carry over, and if your NSW licence is well expired you may face testing—so don’t let it lapse and turn paperwork into a sport.
