When you move to NSW

If you are a driver or motorcyclist who has moved to NSW - either from another Australian State or Territory, or from another country - you will need to make arrangements to get a NSW driver or rider licence.

You can use your existing licence for up to three months, after which you must have a NSW licence in order to drive a vehicle or ride a motorcycle.

This section tells you how to get a NSW licence. Please note that the process is different for interstate and international drivers.
