Replacing your licence—online or in person
If your licence has been lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed you can apply for a replacement licence:
- online
- at a transport and motoring customer service centre
- at a participating QGAP office
- at some police stations—in rural or remote areas of Queensland.
Apply online
Applying in person
You will need to:
- bring your evidence of your identity documents
- show an official evidence of change of name document if your name has changed since your last licence was issued
- declare that you are medically fit to drive the class of vehicle. You may need to provide a medical certificate that states that you are medically fit to drive
- pay the licence replacement fee.
You no longer have to complete a driver licence application form when visiting a Department of Transport and Main Roads Customer Service Centre.
You will still need to complete a driver licence application form (F3000) at police stations and most QGAP offices.
You may need to have your photo taken when you apply to replace your licence.
If you believe your licence is faulty, bring it with you. If it is confirmed to be faulty, your licence will be replaced free of charge.
A new licence will be sent to you by standard mail. If you have signed up for e-reminders we will email you when your licence is posted.
If a Magistrates Court has granted you a special hardship order or you have been immediately suspended for a drink or drug driving offence and an order has been granted allowing you to drive until the date of a court hearing, you will need to apply for a replacement licence showing the appropriate condition.
