how do i change my licence from nsw to vic

Move to Victoria and you’ve got 6 months to swap your NSW driver licence for a Victorian one—no, they won’t accept “I was getting around to it.”

Book a VicRoads appointment, bring proof of identity and your Victorian residential address, and be ready for a quick eyesight check, new photo, fees, and surrendering your NSW card.

If your NSW licence is current and equivalent, you usually won’t need knowledge or drive tests; heavy vehicle classes or medical conditions may need extra paperwork.

Expect to pay the standard licence issue fee (varies by term), and note your NSW digital licence will stop being valid once you transfer.

If your licence is expired, suspended or disqualified, different rules apply—call VicRoads before you queue up like it’s Boxing Day sales.
