How do I replace my driver’s licence?

All recent Australian driver’s licences have two numbers - licence number and card number. Both need to be valid to pass an ID verification check.

• Replacing your driver’s licence changes your card number - which does stop fraudsters from passing identity checks. For a more thorough replacement, you can request to change your licence number as well. Changing your licence number usually requires evidence and a police report to support the request.

We recommend considering replacing your licence if you suspect fraudulent activity, and changing your licence number if your identity is detected to be used by someone who isn’t you.
