Surrender a NSW driver or rider licence voluntarily

Introduction

If you need to voluntarily surrender a NSW driver or rider licence because it's no longer required, you're moving interstate or overseas, or the licensee is deceased, you can do this at a Service NSW Centre.

If the licensee is deceased, refunds may be applicable.

What you need

• your proof of identity
• your driver or rider licence (if available)
• a letter from a licensing authority confirming that your licence was transferred to another state or territory (if applicable and you don't have the licence)
• written evidence of authority (if you're surrendering a licence for someone else)
• confirmation of death, such as a death certificate or newspaper death notice (if the licensee is deceased).

How to surrender

1. Gather the required documents. 
2. Visit a service centre and submit your documents in person.
