Sigemup Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Hi Guys, If you have a license from one state, and you move to a new state, in general, you have approx 3 months to get the license from the new state. However, if you plan NOT to drive in the new state and hence plan NOT to get license in the new state, do you need to give the license from your previous state to the department in your new state after 3 months ? Or do you have the option to simply keep the license from prev state in a bag and not use it and not get any new license from the new state that you have moved to ? Thank you Edited March 31, 2019 by Sigemup edit for clarity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 There's no obligation to hand in your licence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metoo Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 It would benefit you to get the new licence, even if you don’t intend to drive. The driving licence is a very convenient form of ID as it contains your photo and your address. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aconcannon Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 We’ve recently done it - had NSW licenses & swapped them to QLD. We asked could we keep the old licence & they said no. We had to surrender it. I reckon all states would be the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
