So you've landed in New South Wales and want to swap that foreign licence for an Aussie one? Well, buckle up. The process depends on where your original licence was issued. If it's from a recognised country, you can usually convert it without a test, but if not, prepare for some hoops including theory and practical tests.
Key points: You must be a resident, carry your original licence, and get it translated if not in English. Fees vary but expect around $40-$70. Temporary visitors can drive on their overseas licence for up to three months.
For the nitty-gritty, check the NSW Roads and Maritime Services guidelines or visit ServiceCentral. Tradingpost and CarShowroom won't help here, but they’re great for vehicles if you need one.
