Drive On
Can anyone advise me please. I took my written and practical driving test in Australia in 1995 I then had to return to the UK in 1996. I am returning next year to Australia (10 years after taking my test) can I just go and renew my licence with an updated photo etc or do I have to take the written test again. I have permanent residency.

Depending on the answer to that, it may be a simple answer, or it may need looking up

In the other States, they may do the same, on production of your old Australian State Licence aswell. But I am not 100% certain on that.
If it was less than 5 years, I am sure it would be OK (as my wife did exactly that after 4 years), but 10 years ?
