Renew your driver's licence (standard)

Find out how to renew your Western Australian driver's licence and update your photograph and signature.

Your WA driver's licences will expire after 1 or 5 years, depending on which licence fee you paid.

You will need to update your photograph and signature on your driver’s licence every 10 years.

When your licence is due to expire, we will send you a renewal notice by post or you can choose to receive your notice via email or BPAY view.

The renewal notice will include:

the expiry date of your driver’s licence; and
whether you need to update your photograph and/or signature.

You can renew your licence as early as 6 months before the expiry date by calling us on 13 11 56 or attending your nearest Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) centre, regional DoT office or agent.

Once processed, it can take 10-15 business days for you to receive your driver’s licence card in the mail. If you haven’t received it after that, please contact us on 13 11 56.

How to renew your licence

If your driver's licence has no provisional restrictions or other conditions, you may renew your licence for 1 or 5 years by paying the licence renewal fee.

You can pay via:

DoTDirect
BPAY®
post
In person, at a Driver and Vehicle Services centre, DoT regional office or agent or Australia Post PhotoPoint location

If you need to update your photograph and signature, you will need to pay in person.

If you are eligible for a seniors, veterans or pensioner concession on your Driver's licence, visit our concessions page for more information.

Renewing a licence for someone else

A third party can make driver’s licence renewal payment for someone else in person or over the phone, if they provide:

Proof of identity
The driver’s licence holder’s licence number, full name and date of birth.

Any transaction receipts will be posted to the licence holder, not be given to the third-party person.

Licence renewal applications cannot be completed by a third party unless they:

visit a Driver and Vehicle Services centre, regional DoT office or agent; and
can provide evidence of power of attorney.

Personal information or licensing information cannot be provided to a third party over the phone.
