The VIC rule, in one line
Converting to a Victorian licence
VicRoads asks for a NAATI approved English translation of your licence, or an International Driving Permit, where the licence is not written in English. Permanent residents are expected to convert within six months of becoming a resident.
Driving before you convert
Until you convert, you carry the translation alongside your original licence. The translation supports the original; it never replaces it.
Why Melbourne drivers order this most
VicRoads conversion appointments
Turning up without the translation is the most common reason an appointment has to be rebooked.
Rideshare and delivery onboarding
Uber, DiDi, Uber Eats, DoorDash and Menulog check that a licence is readable in English before approving a driver or courier.
Car rental and insurance
Melbourne rental desks and insurers ask for the English translation with the original licence.
Working Holiday arrivals
Most 417 and 462 holders handle this in their first fortnight, often alongside a police check translation.

What AU$69 covers
Flat price
A driver's licence is AU$69 regardless of how many pages or sides it has. The per-page surcharge that applies to long multi-page PDFs does not apply to licences.
Both sides in one order
Front and back are treated as one document. If you have already scanned them into a single PDF, tick the box at upload and send one file.
NAATI certified
Translated and stamped by a currently certified NAATI translator, with their accreditation number on the certificate.
24 to 48 hours by email
Delivered as a certified PDF. Print it or keep it on your phone.
Questions Melbourne drivers ask
Where can I get my driver's licence translated in Melbourne?
You do not need to attend anywhere in person. EzyTranslate translates your licence online and returns a NAATI certified PDF by email within 24 to 48 hours, for AU$69. You upload a photo of both sides and the certified translation comes back signed and stamped by a NAATI certified translator.
Does VicRoads accept a NAATI translation?
VicRoads states that a licence not written in English must be translated by a NAATI accredited translator or the issuing country's consulate in Australia. A NAATI certified translation is therefore the standard route for a Victorian licence conversion. Confirm the current requirement on the VicRoads page before your appointment.
How much does a driver's licence translation cost in Melbourne?
AU$69 flat, including both sides of the licence and the NAATI certification. There is no per-page surcharge on licences, and no extra charge for delivery.
How long does it take?
24 to 48 hours from payment for most licences. You receive a certified PDF by email, so there is nothing to collect and no appointment to book.
Will Uber or Uber Eats accept it in Melbourne?
Rideshare and delivery platforms require a licence they can read in English before approving a driver or courier. A NAATI certified translation submitted alongside your original licence is the standard way overseas drivers clear that check.
Can I use the same translation outside VIC?
Yes. NAATI certification is national, so the same translation is used in every state and territory. The deadlines and conversion rules differ by state, but the translation itself does not need redoing when you move.
