This service allows you to obtain a complete history of your driving record, providing you with a clear view of your current licence status and your history of demerit points.
Who it's for
This service is available to any person who holds a driver licence. If you are a licence holder and need to review your official driving history, you are eligible to make this request to see exactly what is currently held on file by the transport agency.
What you get
When you complete this request, you receive a comprehensive overview of your driving history. This includes your current licence status, which indicates whether your licence is currently valid or if there are issues affecting your ability to drive. You will also receive a full history of your demerit points. These demerits are the points recorded against your licence due to driving offences. Having this information helps you monitor your compliance and ensure your records are accurate.
