If you have recently moved here from Interstate and changed your licence over to a Queensland Licence, the Department of Transport and Main Roads may not have your driving history. Therefore, when it comes time for us to book your practical driving test, it will appear on the computerised booking system that you have not held a licence for the required length of time to be eligible to undertake the practical driving test.
Providing there are no actual issues with your licence history, it is simply an administrative process. You need to authorise the Department of Transport and Main Roads to obtain your driving history. This process normally takes approximately 48 hours. After this has been done, we will be able to book in your test.
If you have outstanding traffic fines (SPERS) providing you enter into a payment arrangement with the Department of Transport and Main Roads, you should still be able to proceed with booking a heavy vehicle practical driving test.
If you held an overseas licence you will need to provide Department of Transport and Main Roads with a copy and possibly a translation to determine what class of licence you are allowed to undertake.
