Everything you need to know about getting, renewing and replacing a driver or rider licence in NSW.
Plan ahead - your card may be posted to you
We're changing the way we print and issue photocards. At certain locations, when you apply for a licence, your card will be posted to you at no extra cost. When you apply for or renew your licence you will be given a paper receipt. The receipt will act as proof of licence status until your new photo licence arrives.
