hotshotSydney Posts: 1,643Member Joined: Nov 10, 2011
OFF TOPIC but maybe someone can advise me on a small problem I have.
My license does not reflect my true age, I definitely want to change this. Anyone experienced this before?
hmmm....bakit sa license ko walang age? hehe! or you mean mali yung year sa birth date nyo?
i meant year sa birth... yeah because ata kasi ako magka license before so lumalabas ngayon overage ako by 4yrs.
pwede ayusin po yan. not sure if same process...dati may mali din sa license ko....spelling ata ng name or mali address...parang ganun. change information lang sa kanila tapos pinagbayad lang ako for that change. hehe

affidavit of discrepancy & submit proofs like BC, SSS ID or any gov't ID but never ur passport. mahirap na kasi baka madagdagan pa ang penalty fee at pahirapan ka pa. sorry, praning lang ako sa mga tiwaling tauhan sa gobyerno.

I managed to do this some weeks back - di naman mahirap but I was fined Php5K as it came out that I was underaged during the time I acquired my license. No choice but to pay it, at least it should be corrected na. I will wait for a month before this will be done.

to all SG Driver's license holders, I believe there's a catch here:
just read this note (for WA-bound peeps, not sure about others states though), via this link: http://www.transport.wa.gov.au
If you have not held your overseas driver’s licence for more than 2 years, or you are under the age of 19 years of age, you will be issued with a provisional licence (P plates). Your new driver’s licence will show when the provisional driving period ends. Make sure you are familiar with the Rules for novice drivers (includes L and P plates).
--meaning kapag <2 yrs mo pa lang hawak yung SG license mo, considered na learner's permit pa lang din makukuha mo? in other words, wala ka pang makukuhang AU DL kung ganon? Mas maganda pa pala kung Phil DL ipapakita ko.. although ang trade off naman nito is yung SG DL ko no need for Driving tests, while yung Ph DL need ko pa dumaan sa mga tests, etc?
Anybody who's gone through the procedure w/ SG-AU DL conversion pls advise? Thanks!

Just wanted to share my experience.
I was able to have my PH license converted provided you have held your PH license for more than 3 years to be eligible for a Full license. No need to have the letter from LTO.
You will just need to take the driver's knowledge test. Once you've passed that test you can take the driving test within one year.
Although we are not eligible for straight conversion, you do not need to go through the process of getting learners then provisional then full license.
Hope this helps.
By the way, I got my license from NSW just last Nov 2012

@brent - i think the 2-yr requirement is for total overseas driving experience... so if you have driving license from the Phil... then SG.... and total is more than 2 years.. than you can get it converted directly to WA license..
when i had my initial entry in NSW, i went to Sydney RTA office and presented my US license, so since its less than 2 years, tama nga ung sinabi mo, they will give you P (not Learner).. pero i said i've been driving for more than 10 yrs (Phils and UAE) ... kaso hindi ko dala ang mga ibang licenses ko..
so hindi na lang muna ako nagprocess...
Eto ang pagkaintindi ko: P- provisional license, meron ka ng license, pero may restrictions sa mga speed limit etc.. L- learner's, hindi ka pwde magdrive pag walang kasamang may Full License

makiusyoso na rin mga ka-oz.1 month bago kami pmunta d2 ni misis sa WA, kmuha ako ng phl license non pro pero never ako ngdrive sa pinas, kumuha lng ako ng 11hrs sa driving school, para sa aming mga visa 475 or temporary working visa pede nmin magamit ang phl DL as long as valid pa to gaya ng nasabi nga ng ibang kahuntahan ntin jan.blessings na rin na pagbili nmin ng car na medyo luma na, may ksama png 3 hr driving lesson and familiarization sa road safety sa pinoy na ngbenta sa amin ng car.ang ganda lng tlg d2 sa oz disiplinado ang mga drivers kaya kahit bago k pa lng di ka maiilang na mgdrive.tsaka nga mga pre, lakasan lng ng loob sa pgddrive kahit RHD.
@lock_code2004 - so meaning if you were able to show your other licenses to prove na you've been driving for 10 yrs na, inclusive of DL from a "Recognised Country" which is less than 2 yrs, (such as US, SG, etc) , automatic conversion na to AU DL? Meaning, applicable sayo yung mga provisions na to? *You are exempt from taking the computerised theory test on the road rules *You may be exempt from the requirement to undertake a practical driving assessment.

Achtung! You want to pass the computer-related tests before the actual driving test in Victoria? Below are links that would help you practice for the exams.
You will need to go through two computer-based tests before you can get a learners permit or swap your overseas license to Victorian full license.
1. Knowledge Test / Learners Permit Test - 32 questions. Practice here.
2. Hazard Perception Test - Computer-simulated driving test. Order a free Drive Smart cd for the practice simulation here. I just got mine in the mail today.

Hello po! manghihingi lang po ako ng tulong. Under 457 work visa po kasi ako, and based po sa mga nabasa ko, pwede po mag-drive sa AU kapag meron Phil. License.
Kaso po, wala po ako phil. license, meron po ako dati student license pero matagal na po yun at di ko napa-change sa Non-Pro license kasi po nagpunta na po kami sa SG. Ang plan ko po sana is kukuha na lang ako AU license sa Victoria. Meron po ba members dito na wala po license sa Pinas at deretso na kumuha sa AU? Nagtanong po kasi ako sa Pinas kung pwede po makakuha ng license ng rush (1 wk lang po ako uuwi), ang bayad daw po ay PhP10K. Naisip ko po, sa AU na ako kukuha mismo kasi mahal po yun sa Pinas. Salamat po.
paguwi mo sa pinas kumuha ka agad ng student driver's license, before ka umalis papuntang AU magexam ka na ng full driver's license kaya ng one week yun sa pinas kapag pumasa ka. pa send mo na lang via mail ang card kasi after one month pa makukuha yun. kapag sa AU ka kukuha magL-plate k ng minimum six months hindi ka pwede magdrive magisa.

Ang rules po kasi sa Pinas ngayon ay pag kumuha ng student license, after 1 month pa daw po pwede makakuha ng full driver's license. kaya nga po, medyo alanganin na po ako makakuha ng license. Si hubby din po kasi wala din license sa pinas. Hays, bahala na po. Try na lang po namin magtsek pag-uwi po namin sa Pinas. Maraming salamat po

Just got pass my actual driving test yesterday; kahit na more than 10yrs of driving experience ako, it was the most excruciating 45 minutes drive in my life. I committed 3 minor errors which were:
(1) Head check, kulang daw (2) Gap selection (3) Slow driver - I was very careful on this as I did not want to be overspeeding
All in all, happy!! This was my 2nd exam, I flucked the 1st one...

just read this note (for WA-bound peeps, not sure about others states though), via this link: http://www.transport.wa.gov.au
If you have not held your overseas driver’s licence for more than 2 years, or you are under the age of 19 years of age, you will be issued with a provisional licence (P plates). Your new driver’s licence will show when the provisional driving period ends. Make sure you are familiar with the Rules for novice drivers (includes L and P plates).
--meaning kapag <2 yrs mo pa lang hawak yung SG license mo, considered na learner's permit pa lang din makukuha mo? in other words, wala ka pang makukuhang AU DL kung ganon? Mas maganda pa pala kung Phil DL ipapakita ko.. although ang trade off naman nito is yung SG DL ko no need for Driving tests, while yung Ph DL need ko pa dumaan sa mga tests, etc?
Anybody who's gone through the procedure w/ SG-AU DL conversion pls advise? Thanks!

I was able to have my PH license converted provided you have held your PH license for more than 3 years to be eligible for a Full license. No need to have the letter from LTO.
You will just need to take the driver's knowledge test. Once you've passed that test you can take the driving test within one year.
Although we are not eligible for straight conversion, you do not need to go through the process of getting learners then provisional then full license.
Hope this helps.
By the way, I got my license from NSW just last Nov 2012

so if you have driving license from the Phil... then SG.... and total is more than 2 years..
than you can get it converted directly to WA license..
when i had my initial entry in NSW, i went to Sydney RTA office and presented my US license,
so since its less than 2 years, tama nga ung sinabi mo, they will give you P (not Learner).. pero i said i've been driving for more than 10 yrs (Phils and UAE) ... kaso hindi ko dala ang mga ibang licenses ko..
so hindi na lang muna ako nagprocess...
Eto ang pagkaintindi ko:
P- provisional license, meron ka ng license, pero may restrictions sa mga speed limit etc..
L- learner's, hindi ka pwde magdrive pag walang kasamang may Full License

You will need to go through two computer-based tests before you can get a learners permit or swap your overseas license to Victorian full license.
1. Knowledge Test / Learners Permit Test - 32 questions. Practice here.
2. Hazard Perception Test - Computer-simulated driving test. Order a free Drive Smart cd for the practice simulation here. I just got mine in the mail today.

Kaso po, wala po ako phil. license, meron po ako dati student license pero matagal na po yun at di ko napa-change sa Non-Pro license kasi po nagpunta na po kami sa SG. Ang plan ko po sana is kukuha na lang ako AU license sa Victoria. Meron po ba members dito na wala po license sa Pinas at deretso na kumuha sa AU? Nagtanong po kasi ako sa Pinas kung pwede po makakuha ng license ng rush (1 wk lang po ako uuwi), ang bayad daw po ay PhP10K. Naisip ko po, sa AU na ako kukuha mismo kasi mahal po yun sa Pinas. Salamat po.
