Rules for temporary and permanent visas holders – Victoria – VicRoads

Temporary Visa

If you hold a temporary visa:

• you are not required to get a Victorian driver licence and/or learner permit
• you can drive using your current overseas driver licence for the length of your stay
• your driver licence must be written in English or accompanied by an English translation or international driving permit.

Permanent Visa

If you hold a permanent visa (issued under the Migration Act 1958) you may drive on your overseas driver licence if it’s written in English or accompanied by an English translation or international driving permit for:

• 6 months from the date you first entered Australia (if the permanent visa was issued before you entered Australia), or
• 6 months from the date when the permanent visa was issued (if the permanent visa was issued to you while in Australia).

If you want to continue driving in Victoria after this time you must get a Victorian driver licence. If your overseas driver licence has expired, you will still be able to take the drive test as you are exempt from holding a learner permit for the test.

Once you are issued with a Victorian driver licence or learner permit, it is against the law to use your overseas or interstate driver licence to drive in Victoria.

How long does it take to have my driver’s licence translated into English?

We have 3 options to choose from – Urgent, Express and Regular, depending on how soon you need the English translation by email and in the mail. For most languages, we can complete the translation within 24 hours.
Firstly, a draft translation will be sent to you by email for your approval. Once approved, you will receive a NAATI certified copy by email. Upon your request, a certified hard copy translation will also be sent by mail (Express or Regular mail if you choose either of these options). Additional postage and handling fee applies. Unfortunately, we do not have a pick-up option of the hard copy.
