You need a driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle on public roads, with licence classes based on the vehicle type, such as cars, motorcycles, heavy rigid, and multi-combination vehicles.
Each class has staged licensing requirements, including learner, provisional, and full licences, with skill tests needed to progress through each stage.
If you have recently moved to New South Wales, you have three months to arrange a New South Wales driver's or rider's licence. Please note that this process may differ for individuals who hold driver's licences in other states or countries.
