Replace in Preston
If a driver's license has been stolen, lost or damaged, the driver can apply for a new license following the following steps.
Online Service explanation for Replacing a Driver's license.
It is necessary to remind all drivers to keep their personal information updated in the VicRoads system at all times. All the personal data, the name, and the home address must be written correctly. (Is the driver's own responsibility to be updated and not to miss any VicRoads notification).
Saying this, and once everything is in order, now the driver can access the VicRoads online portal to request a new driver's license online. The procedure will take only a few minutes. A receipt will be issued at the end of the process, and it will be essential to keep a copy if it until the new license arrives.
All the procedure of issuing a new license will take up to ten days until it arrives at the driver’s home address (As we said before, this must be registered on the system). In some cases, the license can take up to 4 weeks to arrive: i.e if you live overseas or interstate.
In the case of a stolen or lost license, you will be requested to notify the theft to your local police station.
You can also replace your driver's license using the regular mail service. This procedure will take you some more time than the online service, but the delivery time for the license will also be 10 days, and in some scenarios it will take up to 4 weeks.
