Not sure, but I would imagine unlikely, as it is all done the in the 'Matrix' so to speak. I could be wrong though.

Re: Exchanging European license for Aussie one?
In Qld they issue you with a full receipt that serves as a temp licence. It has your drivers licence number on it & you can use it for id. I even used it to hire a car here in the U.K as my replacement didn't arrive in the three weeks they'd said it normally takes.

How long does it take for them to post the license and can someone at the address receive the letter if you happen to be away?

Re: Exchanging European license for Aussie one?
Thanks for the info.
So let me get this right: there are older service centres that issue licenses on the spot, and there are newer ("refurbished") ones that only post out the license and cannot issue it on the spot?
If this is so, do you have to go to the nearest centre closest to your place of residence, or can you go to one further away (an older one for instance if you want the license straight away)?
