Return your number plates

When you update your address details, we’ll send you a change of address sticker. This should be attached to the back of your driver's licence or Photo Card document. When attaching, be careful not to cover important information such as expiry date or your date of birth.

A change of address sticker will not be forwarded for changes to your vehicle licence (registration) document, or for Photo Cards without an address.

Fees apply – refer to Replacement card and document fees table. You don’t need to pay for a replacement if your driver’s licence has been stolen and you’ve reported it to the WA Police Force. You’ll need to provide the police incident report number.

There is no fee payable to change your name, organisation name, address or gender.

However, you will need to pay a fee if you request a replacement driver's licence card, WA photo card, vehicle licence document, or learner’s permit card.
