Overseas Driver Licence Translation
Visitors and new residents can generally drive in Australia on a valid overseas licence for a limited period. If the licence is not in English, you usually need to carry an International Driving Permit or an official English translation. When you convert to an Australian licence, the state road authority will also ask for a translation. We provide fast, certified translations accepted for these purposes.
