Replace your driver licence while temporarily interstate or overseas

If you’re temporarily interstate or overseas and your NSW driver licence card has been lost, stolen or destroyed, you can order a replacement licence online.

If you're unable to replace online or require the licence to be sent outside NSW, you'll need to complete a photo-kit form, and post it to the Photo Kit Unit.

You can use a photo-kit form only if your licence:

• has been expired fewer than 5 years
• is not a temporary paper licence
• is not suspended or cancelled.

To make sure you have all the information and documentation you need to complete this transaction, visit Driver and rider licences.

• colour passport size photograph as detailed on the form
• your proof of identity as detailed on the form
• your NSW residential address details
• an appropriate witness as specified on the form (if applicable)
• your driver/rider licence number
• photocopy of your concession card (if applicable)
• your payment.

1. Select the 'Download PDF form' button.
2. Download and complete either:
   • Photo-kit for a NSW licensee temporarily interstate – PDF, or 
   • Photo-kit for a NSW licensee temporarily overseas – PDF.
3. Ensure you have a witness to complete page 5 if:
   • you can’t return your current NSW driver licence or one that expired within the last 2 years, or
   • you've changed your name.
4. Attach your supporting documents, and post your photo-kit application form with payment, to the address specified on the form.
5. Your licence card will be posted to your NSW address unless you specifically ask for it to be sent to your temporary interstate or overseas address.

Note: Cards are sent by standard post.
