changing licence from nsw to vic Page 4

Moving to Victoria? Swap your NSW licence within 6 months of becoming a Victorian resident, or the bureaucratic gods will frown (metaphorically, mostly).

Book a VicRoads appointment, bring proof of identity and a Victorian residential address, declare any medical conditions, and be ready to surrender your NSW card and pay the fee.

If your NSW licence is current and full, you typically won’t need tests; P‑plate conditions transfer across, and expired licences may trigger extra checks.

Registration for your car is a separate saga, so handle that after the licence; timelines and fees change, so confirm details with VicRoads before you rock up, coffee in hand.
