Get my photo taken

The Department of Transport requires you to have your photograph taken when applying for a new driver's licence. Your signature is also required.

Your photograph and signature must be updated every 10 years, and should be done when renewing your driver's licence. Your licence renewal notice will indicate if needs to be done.

If you wish to update your photo due to a change in your appearance or change of name and not as part of your renewal, this can only be done at a DVS centre, regional DoT office or agent.
