Why an Open Licence Is Worth It
Moving from your P2 (green P-plate) licence to an open licence is a big deal. It’s your ticket to complete driving freedom in Queensland. Here’s what changes:
No More P-Plates — Take down the green plates for good. Drive with privacy and confidence.
Full Demerit Points — You get the complete 12-point limit. Your P2 licence only gives you 8.
Fairer Alcohol Limits — You follow the standard 0.05 blood alcohol limit. P2 drivers have to stay at zero.
Zero Passenger Restrictions — All those rules about how many young passengers you can carry? Gone.
You’ve earned this freedom through safe driving. Now let’s get it without the administrative headache.
Queensland Full Licence Requirements – Made Simple
The government sets the rules. Below are the official requirements—and right next to each one, we explain how we make it easy for you.
1. The Holding Period & Minimum Age
The Rule: You must have held your P2 provisional licence for at least one continuous year. You also need to be at least 20 years old.
How We Help: Not sure if you qualify? We check your eligibility instantly using your details. No need to calculate dates or decipher fine print.
2. A Clean Driving Record
The Rule: No high-speed offences, drink-driving offences, or too many demerit points during your P2 period.
How We Help: We help verify your driving history so you know exactly where you stand.
3. The Identity Documents
The Rule: You need proof of identity (passport or birth certificate) and evidence of your Queensland address.
How We Help: Document gathering causes the most delays. We give you a clear, personalised checklist. If something’s missing, we guide you to the fastest solution.
4. The Application & Fee
The Rule: You must complete the right form and pay the fee to TMR.
How We Help: This is where our “no queue, no test” promise comes to life. We prepare and submit your application on your behalf. You never set foot in a TMR service centre.

Key Facts: Minimum Age & Holding Period

Important: You need BOTH. For example, if you got your P2 at 19, you must wait until you turn 20 AND have held it for a full year.
We automatically check both conditions for you—no miscalculations, no worries.
