    Hi Just want to know if anyone of you tried to apply for a driver's license in VIC after more than 6 months of staying in Melbourne. I know that there is a rule that you should apply for a Driver's license within 3 or 6 mos. Failing to do so would mean you would undergo Ls and Ps before getting the full license. Is this true?

    Or baka meron namang driver's examiner in a suburb na lenient to still give you full license right away kahit na mroe than 6 mos ka na nagstay sa Melbourne bago ka nag-apply.

    @pinoytalker You can apply whenever but you can’t drive with your Ph license after 6mos if you’re on a PR visa. If you want to convert your DL from Ph, you have to undergo 3 tests and during this transition, you can’t drive by yourself. You have to have someone with a full license every time that you drive. Now they have also added verification of license.

    Thanks for replying. Does that mean, hindi na ko mag-uunder go ng "L" or "P" but I just need to pass 3 tests?

    @pinoytalker You are considered “Learner” when you start the transition then once you pass the 3 tests Full licensed na uli. Hindi ka na magaundergo nung matagalang process na from Ls to P1 to P2 to full kasi may Ph license ka.

    @pinoytalker No worries, kailangan mo rin ng few lessons here in Au to familiarize yourself sa mga road rules tsaka dito we drive on the left side of the road, :) All the best on your driving.

    Sharing my experience...

    I'm currently a temporary resident (457 visa holder). I have a PH non-pro license since 2013. I have with me both the expired and current license cards from PH. This month, my current license is expiring and that would mean I won't be able to drive anymore unless I renew my license.

    Since renewing my PH license would mean I need to go back to PH, I called RTA and asked what I need to do in order to get a full driver's license here in Sydney. Here is their advice:
    - book a DKT (driver's knowledge test)
    - once you pass the DKT, book a practical/driving test
    - If you are successful on the driving test, you will be issued with a full license but with a letter Q indicating that you are a temporary resident

    Since my license is expiring soon, I booked the DKT. Unfortunately, the only session available is 2 days prior my license expiry date. I passed the DKT and was issued a Learner License since my current PH license is expired.

    Here are the fees I incurred:
    - DKT - AUD 46
    - Learner's License/Card - AUD 25
    - NSW Photo ID - AUD 5
    - Driving Test - AUD 57

    I was advised that I don't need to do any hours/log book since I ave a full license for more than 3 years. However, I need the learner license so that I have something to use when I do my driving test (since my PH license is expired). I'm also no longer allowed to drive on my own and I should always put up the L sign whenever I'm driving with a full license holder always with me in the car.

    I'm yet to get the driving test. I will post the updates once I'm done.


    Adding my updates here...

    I passed the driving test in Ryde RMS and got the unrestricted driver's license which is sent via mail. I paid AUD 184 for the 5 years license.

    @bettyboop Just bring the license and the receipt with you all the time. Are you on PR Visa? If you are you’re only allowed to use it within 6mos from your initial entry since becoming a PR.

    Hi guys and @Cassey ,
    So nagaaral na ko for my exam sa Driver's Knowledge Test..
    I noticed in their website that if you want to convert your Ph License to Vic License need mo pa pala ipaverify sa kanila yung PH license mo (cost: 18.50) at may schedule. :(

    @pinoytalker yeah you can have the verification after taking the exam. I just did mine, in NSW though. Unfortunately for me, i renewed my Phil. license last May and new licences from Phil. is not included on RTA database so they cannot verify it, they're requiring confirmation letter from the consulate now.

    ^ Yep. And before you go to the consulate in Sydney, you have to bring your License Certification from LTO that is authenticated by DFA (so it’s a 3-step process). And you can only get this from the Philippines. This is just because of the new license design.

    Good day guys, sorry for the noob question. If meron ako non-pro license dito sa Philippines for 7 years and mag apply ako ng Australian DL and I'm a PR, anong benefits? I mean may ma-sskip bang process sa application ng Australian DL kung may license ka na dito sa Pinas? Thank you so much! :)

    @michaelguanzon_ust same question bro. Kaso wait, 7 years? You mean validity or been using it for 7 yrs? I renewed mine last year with the new 5-yr validity. I'm also thinking kung ano advantage sa application ng Aus DL kung meron na tayo non-pro or wala rin ba?

    @michaelguanzon_ust ang alam ko is depende s state kung san magpaconvert.

    dito s VIC, basta meron kang ph DL card,u skip some steps and take the drive test.
    if you pass the test, then get Au full DL since 7 yrs ka na driving.

    ang benefits is u save time and money from skipping some steps.

    @leadme bali 7 years total driving bro, hehehe buti nga naabutan ntin yung 5yrs validity. kakarenew ko lang din :)

    @Captain_A thanks sa inputs bro. :)

    bali sa NSW kami, i guess sa rules ng NSW ako maghanap hanap. question din kasi sa akin yung case ng fiancee ko, new license ksi sya as in bago talaga wala pa 1 year. since factor ang number of years of driving, tama ba baka hindi nya din makukuha yung exceptions? thanks again!

    @leadme Pedeng option mo kun iwala kang makitang evidence ng first issue. Mag pa certify ka na lang sa LTO. Meron silang Certification document kun kailan first issue ng license mo. Then pa red ribbon sa DFA.

    @leadme ayun lang sayang. Baka naman may expedite sila sa LTO at DFA para mahabol mo pa bago ka umalis. mura lang naman un doc mismo. Kung inde aabot, I suggest ipasuyo mo nlang sa kakilala or company such as "Pakisuyo". Inde ako stockholder ng company na yan ha. hehe. Sila kasi nagayos ng certification ko at mail nila papunta saken yun doc mismo. I suggest iwan ka na authorization letter kun kanino man. Kasi kun based ka na dun at mag pa authorization letter papa notarized mo pa sa PH embassy tpos saka i send sa Pinas. Mas magastos at matrabaho. hehe. Regarding number of years sa VIC, sorry no idea ako kasi iba sa case ko dahil may SG license ako e.

    Goodluck and God bless batchmate sa BM!
