When do you need a driving licence translation?

Driving on a foreign licence

Most Australian states allow you to drive on your overseas licence for 3–6 months, but only if you carry a NAATI-certified English translation alongside it at all times. Without one, you risk fines and your insurance may be void.

Converting to an Australian licence

In every state except NSW, the transport authority (VicRoads, TMR Queensland, Service SA, DoT WA, Service TAS) requires a certified translation as part of the licence conversion application. Your application will be rejected without it.

Renting a car or campervan

Rental companies including Jucy, Apollo, Britz and major chains like Hertz and Avis require a NAATI translation or International Driving Permit. A NAATI translation is accepted everywhere and never expires.

Starting farm work or regional jobs

Employers in regional areas often need proof you can legally drive. A translated licence is standard onboarding paperwork for fruit picking, farm work and hospitality roles across Queensland, Victoria and New South Wales.

Police roadside checks

If pulled over, police may ask to see your licence in English. A certified translation avoids on-the-spot fines, confusion at the roadside and potential licence suspension.

Insurance claims after an accident

If you're involved in a collision, your insurer will likely require a certified English translation of your licence to process the claim. Without it, your claim may be delayed or denied.

Hit the road. We've got the paperwork sorted.

What's translated

Front and back of the licence: full name, date of birth, licence number, vehicle category codes, issue and expiry dates, issuing authority, endorsements and restrictions.

Official certification

The NAATI translator's stamp and practitioner number make the translation legally valid for any 100-point identity check across Australia.

Where it's accepted

For driving and car rental in every state: every Australian police force, all major rental companies and insurers. For licence conversion: VicRoads, TMR QLD, Service SA, DoT WA, Service TAS (every state except NSW).

When you'll need it

One NAATI translation covers every situation behind the wheel.

VicRoads conversion

Required for converting your overseas licence to a Victorian licence within 6 months of becoming a resident.

Driving in NSW

Accepted in NSW for driving and renting. To convert to a NSW licence, Transport for NSW only accepts a translation from Multicultural NSW or the Home Affairs Free Translating Service, so ours cannot be used for that step.

TMR QLD conversion

Queensland does not accept International Driving Permits. A NAATI translation is the only accepted option for conversion.

Campervan and car rental

Jucy, Apollo, Britz, Hertz, Avis and most rental chains require a NAATI translation before releasing keys to overseas-licence holders.

Frequently asked questions

Only if your licence is in English. If it's in any other language, you must carry a NAATI-certified English translation or an International Driving Permit alongside your original licence at all times. Note that Queensland does not accept IDPs for licence conversion - a NAATI translation is required.

An IDP is accepted for temporary driving in most states, but Queensland TMR does not accept it for licence conversion. A NAATI translation is accepted in every state for temporary driving, and for licence conversion in every state except NSW, making it the safer and more versatile option. Unlike an IDP, it also never expires.

It depends on your visa and residency status. Temporary visitors can usually drive for the duration of their stay, up to 3–6 months depending on the state. Once you become a permanent resident, most states require you to convert within 3 months. Check with your state transport authority for the exact timeframe.

Yes. Our NAATI-accredited translators certify both the front and back of your driving licence, including all vehicle category codes, expiry dates, endorsements and any restrictions. Upload clear images of both sides when placing your order.

Yes. VicRoads accepts NAATI-certified translations from any NAATI-accredited translator, including EzyTranslate's translators. Your certified PDF will include the translator's NAATI practitioner number, which VicRoads verifies as part of the conversion process.

AU$69 for a single driving licence translation with EzyTranslate. If you also need a police check translated (common for Working Holiday Visa holders), our WHV package bundles both documents for AU$109 - a AU$19 saving. Bundle discounts are applied automatically at checkout.

Most driving licence translations are delivered within 24 hours. You'll receive a certified PDF by email that you can print or show on your phone - both formats are accepted by transport authorities, police, rental companies and insurers across Australia.

Yes. A NAATI-certified translation is nationally recognised: accepted for driving and car rental in every state, and for licence conversion in every state except NSW. Whether you're driving in Queensland, converting your licence in Victoria, or renting a car in Western Australia, you use the same certified PDF.
