tracy123 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 get what you need out of the helpful posts and don't worry what the others say. IMHO tell only what you need to tell to the aussie dept, give no extra info that way your not lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vb2 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi, We are from the leeds area originally too! I dont believe they contact the DVLA as each state has its own rules and regulations to deal with so dont think they would have the time or the capacity to be chasing all the international licence details too!! However, i would say that if the driving ban was drink/accident related and it involved a conviction in the UK (ie. if it was something that you had to declare on your visa application) then you should tell Adelaide as if they ever needed to check your visa info and it came up, you would be in a whole lot of trouble!! Otherwise, if its not asked for on the forms etc. then its not asked for simple as that!! Hi all Can anyone help me please.

spottydog Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Don't know about SA but NSW asks if you are currently banned from driving in another country on the application form plus as others have said you need the UK licence for them to transfer it to an Aussie one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
