Can a Chinese driver licence be used to obtain an international driving permit?
No, China does not issue international driving permits. Driving in Australia generally requires the original Chinese driver licence together with a NAATI certified English translation.
When must I convert to an Australian driver licence?
Generally within a specified timeframe after becoming a permanent resident, with the timeframe varying by state. Please refer to the official website of your local state transport authority.
How long can you drive in Australia with a Chinese driver licence?
Regulations vary by state. Generally, temporary visa holders can drive using their Chinese driver licence and an English certified translation for the duration of their visa; once you become a permanent resident, you must convert to a local licence within a specified timeframe, which varies by state. Please check the official website of your state transport department.
Do transport departments accept NAATI certified translations when converting a local licence?
Yes. State transport departments (such as Service NSW and VicRoads) generally accept English certified translations issued by NAATI certified translators. Bring your original document and the certified translation when applying.
