More information

• When you apply for or renew a photo card at a service centre, it will be posted to you at no extra cost, generally within 5 to 10 working days.
• If you haven’t received your photo card through the mail within 10 days, contact Transport for NSW on 13 22 13.
• Renewal notices are mailed generally within 6 weeks of the card's expiry date. This means you have plenty of time to plan ahead and renew early.

• Changes to residential address, mailing address, email, or mobile number can be done online.
