Northern Territory Drivers Licence

If you’re a Northern Territory (NT) resident and you’re at least 16 years old, you can apply for a driver licence.

To apply for a driver licence, you must also be a Motor Vehicle Registry (MVR) customer. To become a customer, you must go to an MVR office with evidence of your identity and NT residency.

Before getting an open/full licence, you must get all of the below in the following order:

• learner licence (L plate).
• provisional licence (P plate).

If you live in a remote region, read about driver licences for remote residents.
