Club Permit plates have white characters on a maroon background, to easily identify these vehicles for law enforcement purposes.

Custom plates cannot be issued to a vehicle on the Club Permit scheme.
Registration number rights are not attached to any Club Permit number combination. The number plates remain the property of VicRoads.
Bike rack and exempt trailer plates may be ordered by contacting us on 13 11 71.
Lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed plates
If a Club Permit number plate is lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed, a new number plate with the next available sequential number will be issued (the original number plate won’t be reproduced).
If one plate is lost, damaged or destroyed, the remaining plate must be returned to VicRoads and a new set displaying a new number will be issued.
How to replace Club Permit number plates
To replace Club Permit number plates, attend a VicRoads Customer Service Centre.
- Classic and modified ‘M’ type permit holders will get their numbers plates on the spot.
- Veteran, vintage and street rod permit holders plates will be mailed new Club Permit plates (unless the Customer Service Centre has these plates in stock).
Assignment of Club Permit or street rod number plates
If a vehicle is given or sold to another person, the current Club Permit must be cancelled, and a new Club Permit application is required. However, the Club Permit holder may request that the existing number plates remain on the vehicle provided that:
- the new Club Permit holder is a member of the same approved vehicle club as the previous permit holder
- the Club Permit number plate is assigned to the same vehicle
- the Club Permit must be current or expired no more than three months.
If the vehicle has not been sold but the Club Permit is expired by more than three months, a new Club Permit application must be made. The existing Club Permit number plates may remain on the vehicle provided that the application is by the same Club Permit holder.
Return of number plates
Club Permit vehicles that may not meet vehicle standards
While VicRoads will not actively identify existing modified vehicles for re-certification, periodically vehicles are reported to us as unroadworthy and/or inappropriately modified and we are required to take action when this occurs.
In these instances, VicRoads will write to the permit holder advising them to request that their club re-assess the vehicle in accordance with the new requirements.
