When you need it in Queensland
- Driving on your overseas licence: carry the translation with your licence, and show both if police ask.
- Transferring to a Queensland licence: bring the translation with your original licence to the customer service centre. Whether you also need tests depends on your country: see which overseas licences convert without a test.
