Drivers' licence transfer fees
A separate payment for drivers' licence transfer fees is no longer necessary. This is because states that impose a fee for transfer allow members to use their current licence until it expires. However, a member is expected to hold a Form AB135, Defence Driving Identification. Victoria and the Northern Territory require Service personnel to transfer their licence but they charge no fee for the transfer.
