Driving with an interstate licence or permit

You'll need to convert your interstate licence to a Victorian licence.

The type of licence or permit you'll get as well as the tests and appointments you'll need to take depend on:

• How old you are
• How long you've had your licence for (this doesn't include your learner permit)

VicRoads does not supply vehicles for licence testing. Applicants must supply their own.

When you get a Victorian driver licence or learner permit and you later decide to surrender your Victorian driver licence/learner permit or they expire, you cannot revert to using your interstate driver licence or learner permit if you have already resided in Victoria for 6 months or more.

It is an offence to drive unlicensed. If you're caught driving without a valid licence, penalties apply.

You won’t need to convert your interstate driver licence.

You can drive in Victoria using your interstate driver licence or interstate learner permit. When using your interstate licence to drive in Victoria, all the road rules and laws apply to you.

It’s also important to keep in mind that your interstate licence or interstate permit needs to be current and valid.

To drive using your interstate learner permit, you must have a supervising driver seated beside you when driving. Your supervised driver must have a current and full licence for the type of vehicle you’re driving.
