The following is important information released by Transport for NSW (Transport) on Friday 24th May 2024.
From 29 June 2024, Transport for NSW (Transport) will only accept learner driver hours logged in the Roundtrip app or hardcopy log books. Records from the Licence Ready app will no longer be accepted. Details on this transition are outlined below.
If any of your students are still using the Licence Ready app to record their learner hours, they will be able to log hours and submit their completed log book up to and including 28 June 2024.
If they will not be able to submit by 28 June 2024 they will need to choose one of the following options:
1. Submit their hours via the official Roundtrip app, or
2. Record their hours via a paper log book from a Service NSW centre.
If your student is submitting hours via the official Roundtrip app:
1. They must download the Roundtrip app and accept the Terms and Conditions to consent to Transport to transfer the hours to Roundtrip. Make sure they have the latest version of the app, v1.13.1 (Android) or v1.22.0 (iOS) or later.
2. Commence logging the hours in Roundtrip app. They must not continue to log hours in Licence Ready if they have commenced in the new app.
3. From 29 June 2024 any hours logged in Licence Ready will not be accepted.
4. Completed hours logged in Licence Ready up to and including 28 June 2024 will be transferred to Roundtrip. Please note: it may take up to two weeks for data migrated from Licence Ready to appear in Roundtrip after 28 June 2024.
If your student is transferring to a paper log book:
1. They will need to visit a Service NSW centre with the paper log book they were issued. If they no longer have a log book, Service NSW will supply one at no extra cost.
2. Present their device with the Licence Ready app to show the hours logged in the app. Service NSW staff will transfer the completed hours to a paper log book.
What if your student finishes logging their hours and plans to book a driving test before 29 June 2024?
They may continue to use the Licence Ready app to log their hours if they ensure to submit their log book entries in the app by 28 June 2024. Please note that driving hours need to be submitted at least 48 hours before a driving test.
