International and interstate driver's licences
Check licensing rules you must follow overseas and in other Australian states.
Make sure you know the rules before you use your current, valid Victorian licence in other states. Travelling overseas and will be driving a car? Make sure you know the rules for using an international driving permit.
If you're an interstate driver or coming from overseas, there is also information on this page for you.
Driving tests
Important information for overseas drivers who need to take a practical driving test to get a Victorian licence. If you fail the test, you can’t drive in Victoria using your overseas or interstate driver’s licence. You will need to pass a Victorian licence test before you can drive again in Victoria.
This applies to all practical driving tests, including:
- car driving tests
- motorcycle learner permit skills assessments
- motorcycle licence tests
