MAJOR DRIVERS LICENCE CHANGE FOR HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF AUSSIE DRIVERS FROM TODAY

November 19, 2024 Public Service Announcement.

Up to 800,000 young drivers in one state will now be able to access their licences digitally, joining 1.2 million other motorists.

Up to 800,000 learner and provisional drivers will soon have electronic access to their licence from Tuesday in one state’s bid to make “it easier for them to go about their lives”.

In Victoria from today (Tuesday), hundreds and thousands of L and P-platers will be able to access their licences digitally, joining the 1.2 million motorists in the state who already have the capability, which launched in May of this year.

The state government said while digital licences are optional, feedback from the public has been overwhelmingly positive and it expects hundreds of thousands of sign-ups in the coming days.

The newly digitised document has a “highly secure, timed QR code” that can be scanned by businesses and other authorities to verify authenticity and prevent fraudulent use. Digital licences also detail when a licence has been cancelled or suspended, the government said in a statement.

A Department of Government Services spokesperson told Yahoo News Australia it will continue to expand the services and features offered through the app, including adding more cards to the digital wallet in time. They said more than half of all Victorians have the Service Victoria app installed on their phone as it stands.
