If your driver's license has been lost, stolen or damaged, you can apply for a new one following these steps.

First of all it is worth mentioning that it is the driver's own responsibility to keep their personal information updated at all times, make sure that your personal information is updated in the system and your home address is correctly written.
Then, you will have to access the VIC Roads online portal and request your new drivers license online. This procedure will take you a few minutes. When finalizing the process you will receive a receipt, ensure you keep it until you receive the new license.
All licences issue procedures will take up to ten days until it arrives at your home address. Please consider that if you live overseas or interstate, it can take up to 4 weeks.
In the case of a stolen or lost license, you will be requested to notify the theft to your local police station.
The other way to replace a driver's license will be using the regular mail service. This service will take some more time than the online service for the driver, but the delivery time for the license will also be 10 days (Like mentioned before, it can take up to 4 weeks in some scenarios).
