If you have not held a full, provisional, interstate or overseas driver's licence in the last five years, you will need to re-apply for a South Australian licence.
What you'll need
Before you can be issued a licence, you will need to present your evidence of identity and apply for a learner's permit. A learner's permit is issued for the purpose of undertaking a practical driving test. You will also need to pass the:
- hazard perception test
- practical driving assessment - when you pass the test you'll receive a certificate of competency.
Returning drivers are exempt from:
- completing 75 hours of supervised driving
- holding a learner's permit for a minimum period.
How to apply
To apply for your licence take these documents to a Service SA centre and pay the licence fee.
- Your learner's permit.
- Your certificate of competency.
- The completed application form.
