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

rguez06 · April 2014

Boss @lock_code2004 may isa pa kong nde alam, pano kaya yung mga carwash dito? hehe Meron kasi dito parang ikaw rin yung maghuhugas gagamitin mo lang yung water and place pang carwash. (pasintabi po sa iba kung ang tanga lang nung tanong )
Dito sa nsw pipiliin mo kung pressure wash, soap or kung ano then huhulugan mo lang 1 $ or 2 $ coin viola, ako ginagaw ko minsan 1$ pressure soap then 2$ pressure rinse, kung marumi talaga 1$ pressure rinse 1$ soap sa brush then 2$ rinse

@JCsantos Thanks for the info. buti na lang medyo maulan dito sa Melby ngaun di pa klngan maghugas

Tanong po sa mga nag apply na ng DL sa Australia.

Ano po use nyo na proof of address? Pwede ba ako mag mail ng letter to my Australia address and use that?

TIA.

Nung wala pa kaming utility bill, bank statement since pwede ka magopen ng bank account before you arrived, oks lang naman kahit walang laman yung account mo basta importante may statement ka with your address. Hope this helps. Thanks!

Thanks sa reply.

One more question:

Anong bank use mo? Kasi nag open ako NAB sabi di pa sila send ng paper statement kasi di pa activated yung account.

rguez06 · April 2014

@btarroja213 I use ANZ but you need to do the identity check tlga before your account generates a statement (in any bank), means you need to visit the branch first and present your passport, visa and boarding pass/plane ticket, must be done 6 weeks after arrival, kasi meron dito tinatawag na 100 point identity check kung wala ka pang 6 weeks dito yung passport mo (with date of arrival stamp) is equal to 100 points. Thanks!

Thanks for the info. :-)

hmmmm.... so that means, di ko makuha DL ko (conversion from Singapore) within 1 week of initial entry? ano kaya options ko?

rguez06 · April 2014

@btarroja213 I think pagpunta mo sa bank to do the identity check you can request an interim statement right away since magiging active na yung account mo, not sure though just my 2cents

Cheers!

Thanks for your answers. :-D

Try ko apply ng TFN and Centerlink as soon as I land... :-D Baka umabot din within 1 week ang letter from them.

Also, I was reading the QLD Land Transpo Office and found this http://www.support.transport.qld.gov.au/qt/formsdat.nsf/forms/QF4208/$file/F4208_ES.pdf

Baka pwede na yan... hehehe

you can do that.. thats what i did..
paglanding, nag-open ng bank account.. humingi ng initial bank statement with my address.. and then presented that to WA transport..

I got my AU DL within 15mins (conversion from US DL)..

Try mo din apply ng medicare, mas mabilis yata dumating yun. Pwede n gamitin proof of address

btarroja213 · April 2014

@lock_code2004 - Great info. as always! Thanks.

@tontoronsky - Thanks. I will do that.

@rguez06 - Thanks. Try ko din yan.

kulotski · May 2014

Add lng ako ng experience ko.

For the proof of identity, I used my atm card but hindi na accept kasi naka initials lng ung pangalan ko, so ni rebook nla ako. Good thing dumating agad ung medicare card ko un na ginamit ko.

Para sa proof of address nmn I asked for a bank statement, pumunta ako sa nearest branch ng NAB and asked for a printout.

So un, make sure f mg open kau ng atm card, pa request to use ur full name and not ur initials. HTH.

Thanks! Pwede ba Passport and Philippine Driver's License ang Prood of Identity?

kulotski · May 2014

Ung passport pwede pra proof of identity. Ung Ph license needed xa to show proof that u have overseas license but not for the proof of identity.

And another thing pala, better if u still have ur original receipt of the license to show first issue date, though nasa format nmn ng license numbr natin, bt f meron pwd ipakita din.

Dito ung list ng requirements:

kulotski · May 2014

Mai listahan kc sila kung ano ung valid proof of identity na inaaccept nila. Un ung nasa list 1 and list 2 nila.

*EDITED

@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

anong license nakuha mo eventually? here's an info for SG license holders: my husband today got a FULL license in WA. PH license holder for 5yrs, then nag BTT sya sa SG nung feb 2014, we moved to WA on April 2014.

So basically, 5yr PH license + 3mos SG license, he was given full license (no theory or practical exam reqd)

okay.. i easily got WA full license as well when i showed my PH 5 yrs + UAE 5 yrs + US less than 2 yrs..

@lock_code2004, @rei_ya

@rei_ya, kabayan I have a question tungkol dito.dumaan ba si mister mo sa eye test, ano2x documents hiningi sa kany bukod sa perm address statement..may fee ba? naka indicate kasi sa vic roads libre yung conversion ng Overseas lic to AU equivqlent

thanks

StickyNote · June 2014

@gmad06 if conversion, no fee ang appointment which costs 16.40 AUD pero ang licence mismo, may fee. 74 AUD ang 3 year licence simula sa July 1. Wala namang eye test na gagawin. May ipapabasa lang na several letters from a specific distance. Documents na pwede mo i-present ay passport, proof of permanent address (i.e. letter from medicare, centrelink, banks), visa grant notice at saka yung current licence mo.

gmad06 · June 2014

@StickyNote thanks kabyan for the complete info..may pikture pa nu?mahigit 100AUD pala magagastos ko dyan..hehe

StickyNote · June 2014

@gmad06 di na kailangan ng picture, kaya 74 dollars lang ang gastos mo. May pang-meryenda ka pa sa sukli mo.

gmad06 · June 2014

@StickyNote ayun pala..saan banda ka sa Melbourne..post office ka din nagpa convert?
thanks sa info kabayan

StickyNote · June 2014

@gmad06 di ako nagpa-convert. dinaanan ko yung 3 exams. PH licence lang kasi ang hawak ko. I am not sure kung pwede sa Aus Post ang conversion. I think tatawag ka sa Vicroads for the appointment, saka ka pupunta sa date at time ng appointment mo.

gmad06 · June 2014

@StickyNote thank you po sa lahat ng info,laking tulong sa preparation ko.

JCsantos · June 2014

dito sa NSW kailangan yung picture pag mag palit ka ng license , actually every renew mo ng license kailangan mag pa picture ka

cvetu2004 · July 2014

Ask ko lang if need ko pa ba renew ang PH drivers license ko kahit na may SGP drivers license na ko? Alin ba sa 2 license ang mas valid na ipa-convert sa AU? Thank you in advance

Singapore driving license can easily be converted to AU driving license..
for some states if your SG license is less than 2 years, they will ask for other license.. so better renew your PH license as well..
