Digital driver's licences are set to become available in Victoria in 2024, with a trial of the new service to begin in a regional city from July.

The new technology will allow motorists to have a digital version of their driver licence on their phones in either the Service Victoria app or the soon-to-be-launched my VicRoads app.

The digital licences will be able to be updated immediately in line with any changes to the licence conditions or changes of address.

Queensland rolled out similar technology last month after trialing it in 2022.
