How to convert PH Driver's License to AU Driver's License?

pa3k_p

@pangrom0529 I see. Does everyone in the driving authority know that? I guess JC is right, might as well get one na rin. Hopefully there is an option in LTO to get non DFA authenticated certification. Don't like going to DFA pa after one or two weeks to get the document. Thanks everyone for the inputs.

@pa3k_p, na-convert ko PH licence ko to AU licence dito sa VIC without LTO certification... I just showed them my licence, took the road test, hazard perception test then drive test. Goodluck!

@emrys hi, converted na license mo to AU, meaning full license, no need na for probationary license?

Thanks!

hi @key_ren, yes po full na agad, skip na yung P 🙂

Question lang po for obtaining NSW or VIC licence… Bale may valid PH DL ako since 2004 (11 years na)…

Based sa nabasa ko, I can drive for 3 months (NSW) using my PH DL… then if I would like to apply (or convert) for NSW licence, I just have to sit for an exam and do practical driving test, then I could obtain a Full licence… tama po ba?

Tanong lang, just to confirm again, I went to Oz last December 2014 for my Initial Entry, pero umalis din ako agad after 3 weeks… Now if I come back to Oz for my Big Move by Feb 2016, yun bang ‘3 months’ that I could drive in NSW using my PH DL would still be applicable? Or parang hindi na sya valid kasi nag-start mag-count yung 3 months nung time pa ng initial entry ko last December 2014? Thanks!

If IED April 2015 then nakakuha ng Pinas non pro DL October 2015, so hindi na rin magamit ang Pinas DL sa South Au dahil more than 3 months na from IED?

sa permanent move mag-start bilang ng 3 months kaya pwede pa yan. Di naman nasusunod yan 3 months, basta hindi expire yung lisensya pwede ka kumuha ng theory kahit lampas na ng 3 months from permanent move mo. HTH.

Sure ba yan bro hehe? Dec2014 ako nag-IED, 3 wks stay lang.

Then Big Move ko talaga is Feb2016 pa… pwede ko pa kaya magamit PH DL ko for 3 months by that time?

kwento ko lang yung experience ko nung nagpunta ako sa service SA to ask them if can drive using my foreign license..(my DL is from UAE which is pareho din like PH DL na hindi immediately convertible to AU license).

Sabi nung babae sa service SA, pwede daw ako mag drive using my UAE DL for 3 months upon arriving. sabi ko naman nag-initial entry na ako 3 years back for 2 weeks pero sa Sydney. sabi nya when did you arrive in adelaide? sabi ko last week lang.. then sabi nya pwede nga ako mag drive using my UAE license for 3 months since i only came to adelaide last week..

pwede po. dont worry. saka hindi naman nila concern yan immigration issue, i doubt kung alam nila ano meaning ng IED. Mas importante sa kanila na current ang lisensya.

@goreo @tartakobsky thank you so much. We are so happy to know that. So pwede pa pala. Yahoooooooo!

Based from previous posts dito kasi, mas madami advantages kapag may license na before punta Au for good kaysa diyan na sa Au magprocess ng license from step 1. Mas mahal at matagal daw ang process...

So, salamat po mga bosing...

IslanderndCity

ito na po pala yung updated summary para sa mga PR and may chance pa na makauwi sa Pinas bago papuntang South Australia:

Get DL sa Pinas either pro or non-pro.
Once nasa Au na & hindi pa expire and Pinas DL, pwede ka magdrive until 3 months since your arrival.
Take theory exam within that 3-month period.
Once passed #3, receive a paper to warrant to drive for 1 year until you pass a VORT or CBT, + perception test.
Once passed #4, then u'll have Au full driver's licence. congrats!
If failed #4 and beyond 1 year na ang warrant paper to drive, then you will undergo the long and expensive processes of being a Learner then Probee then Full...

Hello po!

Tanung lang po, we're planning to move sa NSW next year March kaso yun din ang expiration ng PH DL ko, ma-convert ko pa din kaya yun (after theory and pratcical exams) kahit na expired?

Currently working in SG, ayaw na po sana namin umuwi just to renew my license.

Salamat po!

Inde po kino convert ang PH license to AU license , ang silbi lang po ng iyong PH license e parang reference ... kung ang PH license mo po e more than 3 years old e bibigyan ka ng FULL AU license, kung inde naman po e P or probationary license

yosh10

salamat sa reply @JCsantos!

so meaning kahit expired na yun PH DL ko, pwede kong ipresent as reference?

Samantalahin ko na din baka alam mo ang sagot, just in case nakakuha ako ng SG DL by October, mag move by April sa Oz, i-honor ba yun for convesion?

LittleFinger

Tnong lang po. Nsw here. I have existing ph dl since 2008. Anu pa po ang kailangan to have a full au dl? Salamat po. Need pb magexam online and then Practical?
