  • Do I need to bring anyone else with me for my Queensland road rules test?

    You’re welcome to bring along anyone you’d like! There’s nobody in particular who you have to bring with you, though.
  • Will I be getting a physical exam when I apply for my Queensland learner licence?

    No, but you will have to declare that you’re medically fit to drive when you fill out your application. This means it’s your responsibility to let the government know if you have any medical condition that might impact your driving ability.
  • Will I be taking an eyesight test when I apply for my Queensland learner licence?

    Yes, you’ll have to demonstrate that your visual acuity is at least decimal 0.5 (6/12) on the Snellen scale. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, you should bring them with you when you go to apply for your learner licence, or to take any other test.

    Yes, you’ll get your photo taken at the service centre when you apply.

    No, there’s no need to avoid any particular colours. Wear any colours you’d normally wear!
  • Is it necessary to put my hair up when I get my licence photo taken?

    Only if it’s covering your eyes or any other part of your face. The whole goal of a licence photo is to make you easy to identify, so you want to make sure your whole face is clearly visible.
  • Am I allowed to wear makeup in my licence photo?

    Yes, you’re welcome to wear any kind of makeup you’d wear on a regular day. In fact, the more you look like your 'everyday self' in your photo, the better!
  • Am I allowed to smile in my licence photo?

    No, you’ll have to keep a straight face in your photo. This will make it easier for others to be sure the person in the photo is really you.
  • How else can I make sure I get an attractive licence photo?

    There’s not much else you can do - just relax, look right into the camera, and try not to blink!
  • I’ve completed my application for a Queensland learner licence. What’s my next step?

    • The next step is to visit a transport and motoring customer service centre, hand in your required documents, and sit your written road rules test.
    • After you’ve passed your road rules test - and a basic eyesight test - you’ll become a learner driver, which means you’ll be allowed to start driving right away.
    • However, as long as you’re on a learner licence, you’ll have to:
      • only drive with a supervisor who has held an open licence for at least 1 year for the class of vehicle you are driving
      • always display your L plates
      • carry your learner licence with you
      • record 100 hours of supervised driving in your learner logbook, including 10 hours of night driving
      • know the rules for driving.
  • My question isn’t listed here. Where can I get an answer?
