To verify an overseas licence with VicRoads, book an appointment and bring the originals: your overseas licence, passport, visa/work rights, proof of Victorian address, and a NAATI‑certified English translation if the licence isn’t in English.
VicRoads will sight the documents, check identity, and may contact the issuing authority to confirm the licence is genuine; that can take anything from a few days to a few weeks.
Depending on your country and driving history, you may need a knowledge and hazard perception test, and possibly a drive test if they can’t verify the licence or it isn’t from a recognised jurisdiction.
Yes, it’s a touch bureaucratic, but once it’s ticked off you can convert to a Victorian licence and get on with dodging hook turns like a local—bring patience and the right paperwork.
