Driver License Rule Changes in NSW for Overseas Visitors

 

If you are on student visa and arrived in NSW before 1 July 2023, you can continue to use your Philippine driver license for the duration of your stay as temporary resident provided that your Philippine driver license remains valid, and: you have not accrued 13 demerit points or you are not convicted of a serious driving offence.

Your Philippine driver license is valid if it has not expired, it has not been suspended, or you have not been disqualified from driving.

If you are on student visa and arrived in NSW on or after 1 July 2023, you can only use your Philippine driver license for the first 6 months. If you are staying for more than 6 months in NSW, you have to obtain a NSW driver license.

For more information, refer to the NSW Government website (click here).

YOU DO NOT NEED THE SO-CALLED INTERNATIONAL DRIVER LICENSE (which is just an English translation of a driver license written in a language other than English). Since the Philippine driver license is in English, your Philippine driver license is acceptable under the conditions mentioned above.
