Converting a Malaysian driver licence in New South Wales
Malaysia is not on the NSW list of recognised countries, so you may need to pass knowledge and driving tests.
Permanent residents can drive on a current overseas licence for up to three months after arriving in Australia, and must get an NSW licence within that time.
Transport for NSW accepts licence translations only from Multicultural NSW or the Department of Home Affairs, and you must show the original translation. Our NAATI translation is therefore not for an NSW licence transfer - it suits car hire, visiting drivers and other uses.

Malaysian documents for New South Wales agencies
Births, deaths, marriages and name changes in New South Wales are registered by NSW Registry of Births, Deaths & Marriages. If you are giving them a Malaysian birth or marriage certificate - for a name change, for example - we translate it into English. The same certified translations are used for visa and citizenship applications with the Department of Home Affairs, and for Australian passport applications.
