Service SA Overview
Service SA centres are the primary resource hubs for driver licensing and vehicle services in South Australia. These centres were created to provide streamlined access to key services for all South Australians, with a special focus on driving-related tasks.
Previously, handling multiple services, like applying for a driver’s license or registering a vehicle, required separate visits and complex processes. Service SA brought these essential services under one roof.
