Australia is a beautiful country with a rich history.
There is so much to see and do and there is no better way to do it than in your own car or caravan.
If you have just arrived in Queensland or have been here for a while and are looking to transfer your overseas license, this article will provide all the information you need to know to hit the great open road with confidence.
The Queensland Government has outlined the process as below: If you are transferring an overseas licence you will need to:
- bring your overseas licence
- bring a recognised English translation (if the licence is not in English)
- bring your evidence of identity documents—including proof that you live in Queensland
- declare that you are medically fit to drive the class of vehicle
- pass and pay the fees for a road rules test and practical driving test—unless your overseas licence is from an exempt overseas country
- pay the licence fee—the cost will depend on how long you want your Queensland licence for.Students who do not hail from the exempt overseas countries such as China and India, will be required to pass the written and practical test before they are permitted to transfer to a Queensland license.
