If you can't attend in person and require a photo extension to renew your driver's licence you can apply for a 12 month extension.
Apply for a 12 month extension.
To apply you'll need your:
- licence or client number
- an Australian postal address for the photo licence card to be mailed to, if the address is different from what is recorded on your licence record
- a contact email address.
What happens next
Once the extension has been approved, you will be advised by email and you can renew your driver’s licence online. Check your junk or spam folder if you don't receive the email.
You can only get one 12 month licence photo extension. For the next renewal, you will need to attend in person.
If you no longer live in South Australia your South Australian licence may no longer be valid. Contact the relevant local licensing authority for requirements on obtaining a driver’s licence.
