Driving licence renewal in Fiji

How to renew a driving licence — how it works anywhere

Written from published rules on 2 September 2026. Not monitored for changes since. A starting point, not official advice — confirm anything that matters with Land Transport Authority (LTA).

Renewing a Fijian driving licence involves submitting an application to the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to update personal details and pay the required renewal fee. Applicants are generally required to appear in person to have their photograph taken for the new card.

Your timing

It is generally recommended to initiate the renewal process at least two to four weeks before the licence expires to account for potential administrative processing times or office queues. Starting early ensures that individuals remain legally authorized to drive without interruption.

Renewal fees vary based on the duration of the licence (e.g., 1, 3, or 5 years); refer to the official LTA fee schedule for current pricing.

What commonly goes wrong

  • Ensure all personal information on the application form matches official records exactly.
  • Verify operating hours, as some LTA offices may have limited hours for licence processing.
  • Confirm that any outstanding traffic infringement fines are settled before attempting to renew, as these can block the process.
