Services for Australians
[ Notarial Services: Renewal of Driver's Licence ]
This page should be read in conjunction with the page on our website headed Notarial Services.
The Australian Consulate-General does not renew driver's licences. You will need to contact the relevant State Government Licence issuing Authority in Australia to obtain the necessary forms to renew your licence while residing overseas, which may need to be witnessed by a Consular Officer. If this is required by the Licensing Authority, you will need to attend the Consulate General in person, bringing along the form, and whatever other documents the Licensing Authority requires by way of proof of identity (details of which are on the form). See section above for times when the service is provided.
Please refer to the website below for further information and contact details of all State Government driver's licence issuing authorities in Australia:

NSW - Changes to requirements for overseas renewals of licences
The Roads and Traffic Authority of NSW have advised that holders of NSW driver's licences will only be able to renew their licence once while they are outside of NSW. The licence holder must return to NSW for any subsequent renewal.
