You will need to apply for a Queensland driver licence if you:
- are an Australian citizen with an interstate licence and you have been residing in Queensland for 3 months
- are not an Australian citizen, but before you took up residence in Queensland you were given a resident visa and you have now been residing in Queensland for 3 months
- are not an Australian citizen, but after you took up residence in Queensland you were given a resident visa and you have now been residing in Queensland for 3 months since getting the visa.
A resident visa is a permanent visa or special category visa under the Migration Act 1958 (Commonwealth). These visas allow a person to stay indefinitely in Australia. These do not include temporary, business or guardian visas.
How to apply for a Queensland driver licence
You can apply for a Queensland driver licence for the same class as your interstate or foreign licence by visiting a Transport and Main Roads customer service centre or a Queensland Government licence issuing centre or, if you live in a rural area, a Queensland Government Agent Program (QGAP) office or a licence-issuing police station (in rural or remote areas of Queensland).
Make sure you meet the minimum age limit for the type of Queensland licence you are applying for.
You will need to:
- if you are transferring from a foreign licence--bring your foreign driver licence and a recognised English translation (if needed) from a translator approved by the National Accreditation Authority for Translators and Interpreters (NAATI)
- if you are transferring from an interstate licence--bring your interstate licence because you will have to hand it in to get your Queensland licence
- bring your evidence of identity documents, including proof that you live in Queensland
- declare that you are medically fit to drive the class of vehicle (you may need to provide a medical certificate that states that you are medically fit to drive.)
- pay the licence fee—the cost will depend on how long you want your Queensland driver licence for. If you have more than 6 weeks left on your interstate licence, you will get a Queensland licence with the same expiry as your interstate licence (maximum 5 years) at no charge.
You no longer have to complete a driver licence application form when visiting a Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service centre.
You will still need to complete a driver licence application (F3000) at police stations and most QGAP offices.

Your authority to drive on your non-Queensland licence will be withdrawn when you have been issued with a Queensland driver licence. This means you can no longer drive with your interstate or overseas licence in Queensland.
All documents must be originals—photocopies and certified copies are not acceptable. The department may keep a copy of your evidence of identity documents or information about them to verify these documents with the issuing agency or a document verification service.
Need an interpreter?
If you have genuine difficulty in understanding or speaking English, we can arrange for an interpreter to assist you during your road rules test. However, you may need to tell the licence-issuing officer what some traffic signs mean without the interpreter’s help.
Further information about this service can be obtained by contacting your local licence-issuing office.
