NSW Digital Driver Licence

The NSW Digital Driver License is the digital version of the NSW Driver License available through the Service NSW app.

For all driver license holders, the NSW Digital Driver License has the same legal status as the plastic driver license in NSW and is accepted more broadly interstate. It’s optional, doesn’t replace the plastic card and is available at no additional cost. There are conditions for using the digital driver license that holders need to know about.

The NSW Digital Driver License is accepted by most pubs and clubs, and NSW Police.

It’s illegal to access your Digital Driver License when driving, including when stationary, unless you’re asked to do so by a police officer. Penalties apply. Visit the Centre for Road Safety for more information.

Get the NSW Digital Driver License

To get your digital driver license you’ll need to:

• Download the latest version of the Service NSW app to your smartphone.
• Log into the app with your My Service NSW Account details and follow the prompts.

You will need a My Service NSW Account that’s linked to Roads to access your digital driver license. The Service NSW app will walk you through the registration and linking process.

Benefits

• It’s optional and available at no additional cost.
• Updates are in real time, so you no longer have to wait for a new plastic card to be posted when your license is renewed or if you change your details.
• It works offline and can be viewed when you have no data coverage, as long as you stay logged in to the Service NSW app.
• Your license information is protected by the security on your phone (PIN, fingerprint, facial recognition) as well as the security of the Service NSW app.
