Frequently Asked Questions
Getting your licence back
Find out what you need to do to get your licence* back after a drink-driving offence.
If you lost your licence for a drink-driving offence you may have to go to a Victorian Magistrates’ Court before applying to VicRoads to get your licence reissued.
Some drivers can come straight to VicRoads and don’t have to go to court. This depends on:
- when your offence was committed
- your Blood or Breath Alcohol Concentration (BAC) reading
- if this was your first offence.
*Licence means any Victorian learner permits and/or driver/motorcycle licence.
Who will manage my relicensing requirements?
You can apply directly to us to get your licence back if this was your first drink-driving offence and you:
- committed your offence on or after 1 October 2014 in Victoria and
- had a BAC reading below .10
- didn’t have any illicit drugs in your system and
- had your licence cancelled.
Find out how to get your licence back under ‘VicRoads managed drivers‘ below.

Visit Check driver history to get your driver history report.
Behaviour Change Program
If you have committed a drink or drug-driving offence, you will need to complete a Behaviour Change Program (BCP) before you can get your licence back.
The BCP is designed to help you to identify the underlying reason for your drink and or drug-driving offence and to help you to identify actions to reduce the risk of re-offending in the future.
Please wait until you receive a letter in the post from us so you know the right program to book into.
The specific type of BCP you need to complete depends on the details of your offence. Refer to Drink-driving penalties, Drug-driving penalties or Combined drink and drug-driving penalties for more information.
To find a BCP provider, see Behaviour change program providers
Get your driver licence reissued

- original Licence Eligibility Order (LEO) (if required)
- original BCP certificate of completion
- original evidence of identity documents
- driver licence or learner permit re-issue fee.
If you haven’t held a current Australian or overseas driver licence in the last five years or need to reissue a motorcycle learner permit, you’ll also need to be retested before your licence or learner permit is issued.
