Hi Jimbo, I’ve been using my overseas license since I came here in Australia and now requiring me to change to open license due to recent policy update which gave me a bit of anxiety. I was skeptical at first to pass the practical test without having a driving instructor to sit with me before the judgment day because even though Im not a newby with driving, I have these bad habbits that are difficult to break. I wanted to cancel my test booking 3 days ago as I cant find an instructor here in our area. Luckily I found your videos and took all your tips and advices by heart. I would’ve have regretted big time if I didnt show up for my driving test yesterday morning because…. I actually PASSED the test in FIRST GO through your youtube videos. 🎉🥳🥳🎉You are heaven sent!!! Now I can have back to back celebration coz I just got my PR two days ago and yesterday got my open license. 🎉🎉 Please continue to make more awesome videos as they are really handy especially to those who cant find driving instructors in the rural area. Hopefully you will also get more 1M subscribers soon!!! 👍👍🤗

Hey Jimbo, I successfully converted my Philippine license to a full unrestricted NSW license last Tuesday in Wagga Wagga. I watched all your videos and it really helped me pass the driving test!! Thank you so much. Cheers mate!

[@markcephresterledda9616]

Hi John, Im from Philippines also. Where can you see the issue date of license?

[@johndarbytaguiam9546]

Hi Mark, the issue date is below your photo in the PH license. If you recently renewed your license in the PH, the date of renewal will be reflected in your PH license instead of the first issue date. In my case, I have been driving since 2017, but since I renewed in 2021 (good for 10 years) the date of issue indicated in the license is 2021 instead of 2017. Anyway, just to be sure, I obtained a certification from LTO PH about the date of issue of my license just in case they look for it. But when I went to Service NSW to apply, hindi naman nila hiningi. I still put 2017 as the date of issue kasi yun naman talaga ang first issue date. Hope it helps!

[@earlskie2u]

I got my p2 license after passing the actual drive test in vicroads..they cannot give me full unrestricted license yet since my current Philippine DL was renewed last November 2022 so they based the assumption that I held my overseas license for 8 mos but they will give me the full unrestricted license if I have a previous license card stating more than 3 years or proof that I’ve been holding my license more than three years like lto certificate with consulate authenticity.. so to make the long story short, having with you your old overseas driver license is a breath of a sigh of relief.

[@earlskie2u]

@@johndarbytaguiam9546in my case nakalimot ko unsa nga tuig ko nakakuha ug DL sa LTO heheh… that’s why I looked for a representative in the PH to get me my LTO history certificate with dfa apostille and hopefully I will receive it this September 2023😊

Thanks A LOT for a set of helpful videos. I actually went the WRONG way and just went to all the tests to transfer my license without any preparation. This was based on my previous overseas move (Ukraine -> US), where a driving test in US was a total joke, you really had to do it with closed eyes to be able to fail it. So now that we moved to NSW I decided it's probably around the same here. And the computer test indeed was pretty straightforward... Man, was I wrong with the Driving test though. Got 3 fails on that and got the L plates as a reward :) Found your videos, super helpful on the head checks and steering (which were my main failures). Passed with 104\107 today on the second go like a breeze. SUPER helpful and clear explanations as to what they check and what not. You rock :) Andriy

Hi Jimbo, i have very serious question and i hope you would be answer, In May2023 i landed in NSW as an International student with an overseas licence issued in 2022 but after landed i go for dkt and my friend fill my form and he write we have no overseas licence, when i passed dkt then they gave me NSW L Licence with log book,,,, jimbo please tell me what should i do next? Can i cancel this L licence? I am too much confused,

[@thedrivingtestguynsw8424]

Well it doesn't matter now as you have been here more than 6months so your overseas licence would be not valid anyway. So stick with the Learner Licence and pass the NSW test and gain a NSW licence.

​@@thedrivingtestguynsw8424 Hi Jimbo, I'm in a similar situation, but now my overseas license, which isn't recognized on the list, has just passed the three-year mark since its issue date. I'd like to know if I can take the driving test immediately without completing the logbooks (I got my L license in July 2023 and I'm under 25), and if I pass the driving test, would I be eligible for a full NSW license? Thank you, hero Jimbo!

This is one of those questions that you should take to Service NSW. I would guess that if your overseas licence is still valid and has been issued for 3 years without any cancellation then passing the NSW test would gain you a full unrestricted licence. I would also guess that you would not need a logbook. Why don't you ask Service NSW and post back what they say?
