The possible extension of the validity of driver licences for a further period is under consideration.
To apply for, or renew, a driving licence you are required to present photographic ID, evidence of PPSN, evidence of address and evidence of residency entitlement. An applicant must present in person at a National Driver Licence Service (NDLS) office where the required documentation can be examined. Due to Covid 19 no walk in apppointments are available in the interest of the safety of staff and the public.
If you are renewing a driving licence or learner permit, and you are under 70 years and you do not have a truck or bus category on your driving licence/learner permit, you may be able to apply online. The same information mentioned above is required when accessing the online system, and the Public Services Card satisfies this requirement as the information has already been provided and verified by another Government department.
A MyGovID verified account is required to meet the Government policy of SAFE2 standard for ID verification, and such verification is required to access the online system. The Public Service Card meets this requirement.
