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

Cassey · January 2019

@leadme Wala namang minimum number of years. May verification na ngayon ang VicRoads para icheck yung status ng license mo sa Ph. Yung Ph non-pro makoconvert in full DL dito sa Victoria after mong maipasa yung 3tests.
Ang ginawa nung iba para makakuha ng physical card, pinakita nila flight details sa LTO and yung visa copy para makakuha ng card.

Sharing from WA, if may license ka na sa pinas, kelangan pa din magpractical driving assessment. Kung less than 2 years ang driver's license, mag p plates au license hanggang sa 2nd year ng ph dl.. kung more than 2 years, derecho na sa full license.. considering di expired yung license

@flaming_vines batchmate! salamat sa tips! first time ko yata narinig yang "Pakisuyo" ah hahaha buti ka pa may SG license. Mas madali. Salamat ulit sa pagsagot at God bless! Kailan BM nyo? hehehe

leadme · January 2019

@Cassey thank you! may physical DL na po ako. So kapag wala pong DL from Pinas, may iba pang steps na dadaanan aside from the 3 tests?

@se29m thank you pa rin sa input!

Hi Kabayans!

If you need help sa overseas drivers licence conversion or wala pa kayong licence (katulad ko noon) I strongly recommend my driving instructor

I got my Green Ps at First attempt.
Wala po ako driving experience at all kahit sa Pinas

thanks @Captain_A sa reply! may minimum ba no. of years of driving para maka skip ng steps?

@michaelguanzon_ust bro paano maprove na 7 yrs na? Kailangan ko ba hanapin yung luma kong PH DL? tapos yung recent natin?

as far as i know walang minimum. basta may full license ka from PH at naipasa mo ang drive full license agad.

personally having green P plate, may kaunting lng kaibahan s full license. except s limited demerit points ang allowed at zero alcohol level.. pero kung safe driver ka nmn, walang issue, kaso 3 yrs waiting time pla before full license at given na no offences. so your choice.

@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.

bro i tried this, naka red ribbon ang cert ko but was not accepted. They want to see a physical card, this rule was just introduce last 2018 plus an appointment date for verification. i think expired PH DL is aaccept nila.

@se29m thank you pa rin sa input!

if wala ka pa ph DL at s vic ka, u need to start from scratch.. after passing all the tests, if you are 25 yo and above you get a green P plate license, after 3 years of driving at OK ang record, u get full license.

as far as i know, anytime during the 3 years u can have your PH DL converted to full kapag available na ang physical card.

Cassey · February 2019

@Captain_A Thanks sa info. May restrictions ba ang green Ps?

flaming_vines · February 2019

@Captain_A hello bro.actually yun sinabi ko kay leadme ay kun kailangan nya evidence nun first issue ng license.pagkakaintindi ko meron syang physical card. Kaya ko lang na advice un LTO is para supplementary sa physical card.kasi yun card naten walang nakalagay ng first issue kundi un renewal date lang.honestly inde ako sure kun paano sa VIC.kaya inde ako nagcomment dun.hehe.kasi sa NSW honor un LTO with ribbon para makita kun kailan first issue.pero sympre kailangan pa rin un card. Yun changes ba kasama din sa NSW?

@pinoytalker Hi, yes. Verification started October last year if I’m not mistaken. Try other branches baka may earlier slots sila.

@Cassey Hi, just renewed my PH non-pro DL last January and will be moving to Melbourne by March 2019. May need pa po na verification? may additional steps na po aside from what you have shared on page31? Thanks in advance.

Cassey · February 2019

@coffee_milktea Hi, oo may verification of license na silang dinagdag. You need to call 13 11 71 to make a licence verification appointment before you can take the series of tests.

Hello. May nakaexperienced na ba mag pa convert ng PH driving license in brisbane? Ok lng dn ba if recently lng yung PH DL? Kakakuha ko lng kc sa LTO last month and plan ko pag BM ko sa april eh mag paconvert na ng Au DL, possible ba yun?

agentKams · March 2019

@alfonso31 you still need to take written exam and practical driving test. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/licensing/driver-licensing/overseas/transfer

when you mean recently as in new driver or renewal ng PH DL? parang pag less than 1 year ata na driving kelangan mo magkaron ng hours on L plate, not sure pero you can call the transport dept.

alfonso31 · March 2019

@agentKams yes po kakakuha ko lng ng drivers license. Yun ang iniisip ko na bka di na ko mag Learners. Sana wag na kc matagal pa lalu ang proseso.

alfonso31 · March 2019

@agentKams if ever po ba yung driving license card lng ba ang kailangan or may certificate from LTO pa na need dalhin?

agentKams · March 2019

@alfonso31 PH license lang dala namin nun nagapply kami ng qld license.

alfonso31 · March 2019

@agentKams ok noted mam thanks

Saveontransfers · March 2019

@alfonso31 para safe ka dalhin mo na yung mga documents like DL and certificate from LTO. You will undergo some sort of test before maconvert yung PH DL mo to AU DL.

alfonso31 · March 2019

@Saveontransfers thanks sir.

LovellaEllen · March 2019

Hello po, for those in QLD, how do I convert my PH license po? I'm currently based in SG and will be going there permanently this coming Sept 2019, I checked online but wala masyadong info regarding overseas license or maybe hindi ko lang nahanap. Is it better to get SG driving license ahead? Paki advise nman po or direct me to a link. Thanks!

aron_drn · March 2019

@LovellaEllen hello po..i suggest jan ka na kumuha po ng Driver Lic sa SG or mag pa convert from PH to SG DL mas madali mag take ka lng ng exam jan sa SG po meron din reviewer sa online at nabibili rin sa book store jan sa SG.

Cheers
