How to apply

  1. Check your licence expiry date — most states send a renewal reminder notice by mail or email within 56 days of expiry; you can also renew up to 6 weeks before expiry in QLD and similar windows in other states
  2. Confirm online eligibility: you must meet eyesight standards, have no enforcement restrictions, hold an eligible licence class, and have current medical records on file with your state transport authority
  3. For online renewal (NSW): log in or create a MyServiceNSW Account, select 'Renew or upgrade licence', follow the prompts, pay the licence fee, and download your Digital Driver Licence immediately; physical card arrives within 15 business days
  4. For online renewal (VIC): log in to your myVicRoads account, select renew, confirm your details, and pay; alternatively renew by phone on 1300 554 853
  5. For online renewal (QLD): visit service.transport.qld.gov.au/driverlicencerenewal, verify your details, answer health eligibility questions, select renewal term, and pay by Visa/credit/debit card
  6. If not eligible for online renewal (e.g. wanting a 10-year licence in NSW, needing a new photo, or having a combined driver/boat licence), download the Licence Renewal Application form or Form 1001 from your state website and visit a service centre in person
  7. At the service centre, present your expiring licence, proof of identity if required, any medical fitness reports, and payment
  8. If your licence has already expired, check whether your state allows a grace period (some states allow renewal up to 5 years after expiry with a fee penalty)
