transfer overseas licence vic Page 5

Ah, so you've landed in Victoria and want to swap that foreign licence for a local one, have you? Basically, if your overseas licence is current and valid, you can use it for a short stint, but eventually, you'll need to jump through some hoops to get a Victorian licence.

Key points:

• You must convert your overseas licence within 6 months of arriving.
• If your licence is from a recognised country, you might be able to directly swap without tests.
• Otherwise, be prepared for the usual rigmarole: knowledge test, learner permit, and driving test.

For the nitty-gritty, check the VicRoads website or ServiceCentral for the latest forms and fees. Don't just wing it; legal driving is no joke.
