Change Australian residency status on a NSW driver licence

Introduction

If your Australian residency status changes, you'll need to visit a Service NSW Centre to update your driver licence details.

What you need

• your proof of identity
• evidence of Australian citizenship or permanent residency, such as your citizenship certificate, naturalisation document, passport or overseas passport (if applicable)
• the PDF form – Replacement Application (if a replacement driver licence is needed), or
• the PDF form – Change of Records (if a driver licence replacement is not required)
• your payment (if applicable).

How to change

1. Download, print and complete either:
   • Replacement Application – PDF form (if you need a replacement driver licence), or
   • Change of Records – PDF form (if you don't need a replacement driver licence).
2. Gather your supporting documents.
3. Visit a service centre and submit your application.
