Australian Drivers license conversion

[mrcrappy]

Hi Everyone.
Happy CNY.

Has anyone been through the license conversion process and can help reconfirm the documentation that you provided during that process?

I did attempt this before after: passing BTT, valid aus license, passport, visa (PR) documentation, as per the website.

However, they requested for some sort of license history document. Is this still required and do you need originals or photo copies are acceptable?

appreciate anyone sharing their experience.
PS. trying to avoid going down to Traffice police and being turned away again.

According to the SSDC website,

"If your driving licence was expired or did not come with an issuance date, you must provide other supporting documents."

This means that if your driving license is still valid, you should not need any supporting documents. Even if it's expired, I doubt you need any supporting documents as most licenses state the date of issue on the back.

Do you have old licenses? What they are trying to work out is how many years you have had a license so you are not a probationary driver.

As long as OP has driven for over a year, he would not be considered a probationary driver. Therefore, should be able to tell from even the most recently issued license, unless it was issued less than a year ago.
