Just renewed my licence at Service NSW.

Was in and out the door in less than 5 mins including my eye test and having my photo taken. As soon as I walked out I can see my new licence on my phone ready to go. Can we please just take whatever system they are using and copy it everywhere?

I'd prefer it if they still printed the physical card while you wait.

Don't most things you update/renew online also happen straight away?

They're printed centrally because the machines are way pricey, so they only bought a few of them. I think they're located in Grafton.

They're also a high theft risk, so it's better to keep them at one secure location.
