how to convert international driving license in victoria

So, you’ve landed in Victoria with an international driving license and wonder how to make it officially Aussie? Here’s the skinny: if your license is valid and in English, or you have an official translation, you can drive for up to 6 months. After that, you need to convert it to a Victorian license. This involves passing a knowledge test, and depending on your country of origin, you might need to sit a practical driving test too.

You'll need to visit a VicRoads Customer Service Centre with your current license, proof of identity, and residency documents. Fees apply, typically around $50-$100 AUD. Remember, rules vary depending on your home country’s agreements with Australia, so check VicRoads for the nitty-gritty.

For the latest and official info, always consult the VicRoads website or pop into their offices—don't rely solely on hearsay or shady forums.
