Overseas Licence
Important Information
Driving on Overseas Licence or Int.Licence in NSW
If you hold a driver licence from another country (Overseas Licence or International Licence), you can drive in NSW with this licence only if:
- You are a temporary overseas visitor in NSW
- The overseas licence you hold remains valid
- You have not been disqualified from driving in NSW or another state
- You have not had your licence suspended or cancelled or the visiting driver privileges are taken away.
You will not need to obtain an NSW licence if you continue to meet these conditions and can prove you are a genuine visitor to NSW Police if requested.
*New Zealand licence holders must obtain an NSW driver’s licence within 3 months of living in NSW.
When driving on any licence in NSW, you will need to comply with all the local road rules. We recommend you book a 2-hour driving lesson with Safe2Go. We will make sure you are familiar with all road rules and conditions and that you feel comfortable driving in Sydney. If you are used to driving on the right side of the road, you will need to learn to drive on the left here, in a right-hand drive vehicle.
