Cancel your licence

You can surrender (cancel) a Victorian licence or learner permit if:

• you’re the licence or learner permit holder
• you have written permission from the licence or learner permit holder
• you’re the authorised representative of a deceased estate (for more details, check the Deceased estate pack (PDF))
• you’re an appointed administrator and you can provide Letters of Administration
• you're a person legally appointed to act on behalf of another, such as under Power of Attorney.

To be eligible for a refund, there must be at least one month remaining on the licence. 

All licences are eligible for a refund. No refund is available for cancelling a learner permit.

You can cancel and apply for a refund at the same time, in person or by post.

Cancel in person

You or someone you authorise can visit a VicRoads Customer Service Centre, fill out the Refunds form (PDF), and hand in the plastic licence.

Cancel by post

You or an authorised person can post the completed Refunds form (PDF) and plastic licence to:

VicRoads

We’ll need an original or certified copy of all your documents. We won’t be able to return these documents.  

When will I get my refund?

We’ll post your refund cheque to your postal address within 4 to 6 weeks. 

There may be a processing fee, which we’ll deduct from the final amount. In cases where the refund is less than the processing fee, we can’t issue a refund.

If you have a digital driver licence you can keep using it to prove your identity or age, for up to two years after it expires, is suspended or gets cancelled.
