Moving south of the Tweed? To transfer your QLD licence to NSW, head to a Service NSW centre within 3 months of becoming a resident and swap the maroon card for a blue one.
Bring proof of identity, proof of NSW address, and your current QLD licence; you’ll do an eyesight check, get a new photo, pay the fee, and surrender the old licence.
Your licence class converts to the NSW equivalent, P-platers are slotted into the NSW P1/P2 system based on time held, and any active demerit points and sanctions carry over—no escaping via the border.
Normally no tests are required for an interstate move (heavy vehicle or special conditions may need extras), but expired, suspended, or dodgy paperwork can complicate things.
Bottom line: book the errand, bring the docs, and you’ll walk out road-legal in NSW the same day.
