To change your name on your driver's licence or learner's permit, attend a Service SA centre with:

• a completed advice of change of name/address (121.2 KB PDF)
• evidence of identity (original documents must be provided)
• your current South Australian driver's licence or permit.

You will need to:

• pay a replacement licence or permit fee of $20. Alternatively, you may choose to renew your licence if the expiry date is approaching. In this case, only a renewal fee will be charged.
• have a new photo taken if your signature has changed

To register or amend your gender, you must present one of the following documents at a  Service SA centre:

• a statement from a registered medical practitioner or a registered psychologist
• a valid Australian Government travel document, such as a current passport, which specifies your gender
• an amended state or territory birth certificate, which specifies your gender
• a state or territory gender recognition certificate, or recognised details certificate, showing that a state or territory registrar of birth deaths and marriages has accepted your change in sex will be sufficient evidence.

Providing you have a supporting document from the list above, you can change your gender to one of the following:

'M' - male

'F' - female

'X' - this option is available if you do not identify your gender as either male or female.

For more information, read the Australian Government guidelines on the recognition of sex and gender.

If you have a physical or mental impairment that may affect your capacity to drive, you must declare this to Service SA. Based on this information, you may need to undergo a medical examination to confirm your fitness to hold a driver's licence.
