Overseas licence policy change update
From 1 March 2024, all drivers in NSW on a temporary visa, using an overseas licence and staying here for more than six months must convert to a NSW drivers licence.
The NSW Government has announced a new policy to improve the safety of visitors driving on NSW roads.
This change aligns with rules for temporary visa holders who take up residence in NSW on or after 1 July 2023 to convert their overseas licence to a NSW licence if they have resided in the state for six months and wish to continue to drive before 1 March 2025.
Temporary visa holders have plenty of time – 12 months – to apply for a NSW licence at Service NSW Centre.
Information on overseas licence requirements is here.
Information on how to convert to a NSW licence is here.
We will continue to update you on these ongoing changes through Drive Lite in the coming months.
