Confused!!!!!!!!

I read here that many people have swapped their licences with no trouble but the online interactive tool thingy tells me this is not possible for an Aussie licence and that my wife must sit the full theory and practical test???

Anyone swapped their aussie driving licence recently or know what the procedure is?

Make sure you tick the "Gibralter or other designated country" box at question 3. Australia is a designated country

Then you'll get the answer you were expecting

You definitely dont have to do the test - my son just sent his licence off in the mail and got a new UK one IIRC

great to hear you are back and having a good time!

I would just add that when I swapped mine over, with Australian motorcycling entitlement obtained in Perth, they put this on the licence too (with a little "70Aus" code next to it)

I had my british drivers licence (I just updated it for a plastic one) but our son only had his Aussie one...if thats the case for you then you will have to hand in your Aussie one (I did this by post which I got from the post office) with a recent picture and within a week our son had his British drivers licence. Good luck, lovely to hear your enjoying being home, all the best
