Transferring your Irish drivers licence - Perth

ObviouslyJesus

Im here 4 months now, havent driven yet but might need a car soon. need to transfer to a WA Licence. anyone know how i do it, what i need, where to go etc

In WA you need to have..

Passport
Age Card
Bank card
Letter with proof of address
Visa grant letter
Irish Licence

Just go to your nearest vechicle licencing centre, you will probally need to get a age card first, then when you get the age card go to the centre and they will copy all you documents and id's and should ring you within a week to say your Irish licence is valid and to come back into take your photo. The licence will be posted after 3 days or so.

I'll add this to the sticky, as it seems to come up a bit.

No need to change it unless your on PR

cheers folks
is the pr bit right, it also says you dont need to apply til your current licence expires

I was told when getting mine recently that i did not have to. I did anyway, I think the rules on having to change your licence have changed. I'd just ring them. its the quickest way to know the score.

Usually don't need to change if on 417 or 457.
