Steps to convert your licence

  1. 1

    Step 1: Find out if you need to convert

    If you intend to live in Victoria for more than 6 months, you need to convert your interstate licence. This means changing your interstate licence to a Victorian one. 

    Use our calculator to find out when you need to convert and what kind of licence you’ll get.

    The type of licence or permit you’ll get depends on:

    • how old you are
    • how long you’ve had your licence for.

    Before you can convert your licence, make sure you have the following documents:

    • a completed Licence or learner permit application form (PDF)
    • your interstate licence (if you only have a digital licence, you’ll also need evidence of your identity)
    • proof that you live in Victoria
    • any relevant medical reports* 
    • the driver licence or permit fee**
