Start with the requirements for your licence
The rules depend on your licence, issuing country and residency circumstances. TMR decides whether you need road rules or practical tests and what documents to provide.
If you move to Queensland, the transfer deadline can depend on when you became a resident or received a resident visa. Check the rules for driving on an overseas licence and transferring to a Queensland licence for your situation.
You may need a recognised English translation if your licence is not in English. Existing licence conditions can carry over unless TMR accepts evidence to remove them.
