3. Pass an eyesight test.
4. Pass a practical driving test.
I hold an overseas driver’s licence – am I eligible for exemptions from licence test?
If you hold an International drivers licence from a recognised countries list then you are able to get your overseas licence conversion with no test provided your overseas licence is current and has not expired.
Furthermore, you still need to make an appointment with VicRoads to change-over your licence if you are from the overseas recognised countries.
In case the country that issued your licence is not on this list than to get your overseas licence converted to a Victorian licence you will have to go through the following process.
The Process of Converting International Drivers Licence
The good news is that the whole process of getting your overseas licence converted over to a Victorian driver’s licence can be completed in one business day.
First book your learner permit and hazard test via VicRoads Bookings website.
