Renewing your licence ??travelling interstate or overseas.
You can renew your drivers licence while out of the country, even though it is a photo licence.
If you are travelling or temporarily residing interstate or overseas, you may be able to renew your Queensland driver licence by mail. You can do this up to 6 weeks before your licence expires.
You can also renew your licence online, check to see if you can use this service.
You will not be able to renew your driver licence by mail if:
your driver licence expired more than 5 years ago
your driver licence is currently cancelled or suspended
you are currently disqualified from holding or getting a driver licence in Australia or any other country.
