The Indian Drivers Licence Verification (IDLV) available through VFS is necessary to convert your Indian Drivers Licence to an Australian drivers licence in New South Wales. As a leading provider of notary public services, we don't get involved with this process unless your name on your Indian Passport and your name on your Indian Drivers Licence is different.
When your name on your Indian Passport and your Indian Drivers Licence is different, it's likely that you're going to encounter problems when you apply for an Australian drivers licence. Completing all the steps of the IDLV will confirm that you're the one and the same person in both your Indian Passport and your Indian Drivers Licence and that you've had the pre-requisite driving experience in order to convert your licence without having to go through the whole driving licence process again here.
For more information, please download the IDLV Checklist from the VFS website. Have you visited the VFS website lately? If you haven't, you should because they've recently updated the information and the forms.
