It is critical that you inform the instructor that you are deaf or hard of hearing before taking a driving lesson. People who are deaf are less likely to get distracted when listening to noises, according to research. If you’re observant and can spot visually unappealing signs, you’ll be a good driver for driving while deaf. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency does not impose any restrictions on deaf drivers. It is perfectly legal for anyone who is deaf or has hearing loss to drive. In the meantime, deaf people in Ireland are forced to rely on public transport or friends and family for their transportation needs. There have been several campaigns by deaf people in Ireland to change this law, but so far, the government has not budged. This is because the Irish government believes that deaf people are not able to communicate with other road users, and as such, are a danger to themselves and others. It is your responsibility to forward the application to Australia.Deaf people in Ireland are not legally allowed to drive. You should bring your passport and licence to the Embassy. Please note that these fees do not include the fee for your licence which is payable directly to the relevant State or Territory Road Traffic Authority in Australia and should accompany your application. A fee is payable (under the Consular Fees Act) in euros to the Embassy for each of these acts. If you are required to have your signature witnessed and/or photograph certified, you may wish to have this done at the Embassy by a diplomatic or consular officer. The Embassy does not extend, renew or replace any Australian State or Territory licence. You should direct your enquiry to the road traffic authority of the State or Territory which issued your licence. The control of drivers' licensing within Australia is vested in the State and Territory authorities. All surrendered licences are sent back to the relevant Australian motor vehicle registry.
This allows a person who holds an Australian driving licence and who is resident in Ireland to surrender the Australian licence and be granted an equivalent Irish licence in exchange without undergoing a driving test. A drivers licence exchange operates between Ireland and States and Territories in Australia.
