All drivers need to be reminded to keep their personal information updated in the VicRoads system at all times. All personal details, name, and home address must be written correctly. (Is it the responsibility of the driver to update themselves and not miss any VicRoads notification).

You will then need to access the VIC Roads online portal and apply for your new driving license online. This procedure will take you a few minutes. Upon completion of the process you will receive an acknowledgment, make sure you keep it until you receive the new license.
