transfer drivers licence to victoria

Moving to Victoria and want your licence to come along for the ride? Easy enough, with a few hoops.

Head to a VicRoads Customer Service Centre (booking recommended) with proof of identity, proof of Victorian address, and your current licence. If you hold a full interstate licence, it’s usually a straight transfer; overseas licences vary—some countries are recognised, others mean knowledge, hazard perception, and possibly a drive test. You’ll do an eyesight check, get a fresh mugshot, pay the fee, and walk out with a temporary receipt while the plastic card arrives by mail. Bring any translation or verification if your licence isn’t in English. For the fine print and exemptions, check VicRoads before you queue.
