Your LS
All new drivers must apply for the learners license to the Vic Roads department. To be allowed to complete this process the driver must be 16 years old or older and pass a driving exam.
You will be tested in the following exams:
- A Knowledge test
- An eyesight test
1 - First of all, you must study for the knowledge test. This exam contains 32 questions and the pass score is 78%. All drivers will have to answer at least 25 questions right to pass.
To be prepared, you can access the “Road to Solo Driving handbook” which you may download from the official VicRoads website. Note that there are different languages available for you to facilitate comprehension.
2 - Once the driver is ready to take the official exam, he or she will have to schedule an appointment and visit the VicRoads customer service department to access the test.
To make an appointment you can use different ways:
- Visit the VicRoads customer service center - Due to COVID19 this service may not be available.
- Online - make your appointment fast and easy entering the official VicRoads website.
- By phone - calling the number 13 11 71.
Please note that in case you are late to your appointment, (for 5 minutes or more), you will be requested to schedule a new appointment and a new fee will have to be paid.
There are special circumstances under which you will be allowed to change your appointment (with at least a 24 hrs notice period), please visit the VicRoads portal for more information.
There will be a fee payment required which you may pay with credit card VISA or MASTERCARD, or even with Cheque or cash at some centers. Please ask for more information before you proceed with the payment.
3 - Once your appointment is scheduled, you will have to proceed to download the “licence or learner permit application form” from the VicRoads official website. Fill the document using capital and legible letters. It is very important that you DO NOT SIGN the document and fill it up correctly, as you will be asked to sign the form in the presence of one of the VicRoads officials.
4 - Once the driver has passed the test and everything is successful, he or she will be able to get the learners permit card. A photo and the payment of a fee will be demanded by the VicRoads authority. The actual learners card will arrive at the driver’s home address within a period of 15 days, until then, the driver will be allowed to drive using the Ls receipt that its received on the same day (This receipt will be valid for 3 months).
COVID INFO: Please note that all new appointments are suspended at some of the VicRoads Centers due to the COVID19 situation. Applicants whose exams have been cancelled from April up to October will have the priority over new appointments. Please contact the VicRoads customer service before scheduling your appointment.
