AnxiousMum Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hi, Is it true you have to apply for Oz Driving Licence 3 months after you arrive in Melbourne? And also does anyone know if you have to do just a theory test or do you do both theory and practical. If its the latter I am really scared!!!!!!!!!!:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jaynie Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Here in NSW, you just take in your UK one and they take a photo, you take a basic eye test and they issue one for you. (Not like when we arrived here, we had to do the theory and the proper test) Somebody from VIC will no doubt tell you if this is not the case down there, but good luck in your new journey in life.

They swap it over for you and punch a hole on your UK licence to invalidate it! I'm sure you could still use it at home though, or at least just say you lost it and get another one!!
