bladesandfloss Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You should be able to trade in your UK license for a fee (the fee will depend on the State you're in) but it should be done within 3 months. What State are you moving to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take your licence to a Department of Transport and Main Roads office, fill in a form, present your UK licence and pay the necessary fee and that's it. At least that's what happens in QLD. You don't trade it in as such as you keep your UK licence however, worth bearing in mind that if your uk photo card expires whilst you're here i believe that's it pretty much gone until you return to the uk and reapply for one with your paper counterpart. My photo card runs out soon and I've decided it's too much hassle (and possibly illegal if i claim i'm residing in the uk when i'm not) to get it renewed when I'm here. eddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
