How to Convert Overseas License
Overseas license holders are required to convert their international license to a Victorian driver’s license within 6 months of their arrival. VicRoads recognizes certain countries for direct conversion of license. However, in the majority of cases, you must pass the Learners test, Hazard Test and Drive test to receive your license.
Step 1 – Overseas License verification
Book an appointment with your local VicRoads office to get your overseas licence verified. Appointment bookings can be made either online or by calling 131171 or by visiting your local VicRoads office. If your licence is not in English then an official translation from NAATI is required. In certain cases, VicRoads will refer you to your embassy to provide an official verification of the document provided. If the licence is accepted by VicRoads then your overseas driving history will be considered at the time of licence issue. If your licence cannot be verified then you will need to hold a Victorian learners permit for the minimum holding time based on your age.
Step 2 - Book your Learner Permit Test Online (LPTO)
Book your Learner Permit Test Online with Vic Roads through the overseas license conversion section. This is the most cost-effective way. You can also attend the test at a Vic Roads Service center in person. If you need an interpreter attending in person is the only option.
Step 3 - Hazard Perception Test (HPT)
Book the Hazard Perception Test (HPT). This test can also be completed online or in person at a Vic Roads service center.
