INTERSTATE LICENCE HOLDERS
Changing to an ACT Licence:
A learner licence is not directly transferable from interstate.
However, if you are 17 years of age, have a current interstate learner licence and have held a learner licence for at least six (6) months, you are permitted however to one (1) practical driver assessment with an ACT Government licence examiner.
If the learner licence is not current or if you fail the assessment you will be required to undertake and pass the Road Ready course and knowledge test and obtain an ACT learner licence.
