Replace your licence

On this page

    You can replace your driver's licence, provisional licence or learner's permit card if it's damaged, lost or stolen.

    There's a different process if your licence has been compromised through identity theft.

    Apply online

    Log in to mySAGOV using a browser - not the mobile app. Select Start now.

    With an account, you can add your digital licence or permit to your phone by using the mySAGOV app.

    Fee: $22

    Reasons you can't replace online

    • you don't have a mySAGOV account
    • your licence or permit has expired
    • you are disqualified, suspended or otherwise prevented from holding or obtaining a licence or permit.

    Other ways to replace your licence

    By phone

    Phone Service SA on 13 10 84

    Monday to Friday - 9 am to 5 pm
    Wednesday - 9:30 am to 5 pm.

    In person

    Visit a Service SA centre.

    Download an application form (PDF 214.1 KB) or complete it when you visit.

    By post

    Post the application form with the correct fee (cheque or money order):

    Service SA
    GPO Box 1533
    Adelaide SA 5001

    What happens next

    When you replace online, you can download and print a receipt and your temporary licence or permit, or have it sent to a nominated email address.

    If you use the mySAGOV app, your digital licence or permit can be used until you receive your new licence or permit card.

    You should receive your licence or permit card in the post within 3 weeks.

    If you don't receive it within 3 weeks phone Service SA 13 10 84. If you don't contact Service SA within 30 days of replacing, you may need to pay a replacement fee again.
