Apply for a restricted journey licence

Introduction

If you've been told by your medical practitioner that you need a restricted journey licence, your driver licence will need to be updated. You can do this at a Service NSW Centre.

A restricted journey licence means you can only drive within a certain distance of the address listed on your driver licence.

Note: The distance you can drive will depend on your doctor's medical advice.

A practical driving assessment is not required to get a restricted journey licence. You'll just need to present the medical report at a service centre.

What you need

• your current driver licence
• a medical report from your doctor.

How to apply

Visit a service centre with the medical report and your current licence.

More information

• If your address changes, you'll need to update your driver licence. You might also need to get a new medical report from your doctor, as a different travel radius may apply.
• If your doctor gives you a medical report that changes or removes your licence's distance restriction, you'll need to take that report to a service centre to update your driver licence.
