Information which might help

Australia implements a National Driver Licensing Scheme (NDLS). The scheme led to the creation of a single driver licence classification structure, eligibility criteria and a uniform set of requirements for key driver licensing transactions including the issue, variation, renewal, suspension and cancellation of licences.

Although Australia operates a federated licensing scheme (administered by the individual states and territories), the NDLS has been adopted by all Australian jurisdictions and, as a result, facilitates the mutual recognition between Australian jurisdictions of driver licences when transferring between jurisdictions.

Other uses of the Document/Certificate

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
