NSW Service Fees

Driver, rider and heavy vehicle licence fees

Fees differ across licence types. They depend on the class of licence, the amount of time you renew your licence for, and whether you are a learner or provisional licence holder.

The fees for heavy vehicle licences and rider licences are the same as driver licences.

If you have a good driving record and are an unrestricted licence holder, you may be eligible for a 50% discount under the Fair go for safe drivers scheme. For more information about concessions and discounts for licences, see Conditions and discounts.
