- a completed advice of change of name/address (121.0 KB PDF)
- evidence of identity (original documents must be provided)
- your current South Australian driver's licence or permit.
You will need to:

Gender
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.
Medical conditions
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.
Downgrade or surrender your driver's licence
When you no longer require a class of licence other than car, you can downgrade your licence by having any additional classes removed eg LR Light Rigid, R Motorbike.
You can also surrender your licence if you no longer wish to drive or are no longer fit to drive.
Concessions for registration and driver's licence
If you're eligible for a licence or registration concession, visit the registration and licence concessions page for how to apply.
A new application is required each time a concession is applied to a vehicle, trailer or motorbike.
