Transfer a probationary interstate driver licence

Introduction

If you move to NSW from another Australian state or territory, you can only drive on an interstate licence for the first 3 months. After that period, you'll need to visit a Service NSW Centre and apply for a NSW driver licence.

Your probationary licence will be transferred to a licence of the same class with a mandatory good behaviour period provision.

What you need

• your proof of identity
• evidence of the first issue date of your interstate licence
• your concession card details (if applicable)
• your contact lenses or glasses (if you wear them)
• the PDF forms:
  • 'Licence Application'
  • 'Good Behaviour Election/Acknowledgement'.

How to apply

1. Download and complete:
   • Licence Application – PDF
   • Good Behaviour Election/Acknowledgement – PDF.
2. Make sure you have all your documentation and any additional items (if applicable).
3. Visit a service centre and submit your application.

More information

• Renewal notices are posted generally within 6 weeks of the card's expiry date giving you plenty of time to plan ahead and renew early.
