Using a Victorian UVP interstate
Victorian UVP's issued for interstate travel (e.g. to go to a place of registration or repair), are recognised by interstate authorities. If you need to drive a vehicle from another state (except Western Australia) to Victoria you need to obtain a UVP from the relevant state in which your journey begins.
If you need to travel from Western Australia please contact Department of Transport and Planning(External link) for more information.
If the vehicle is over-dimensional, or has other unusual characteristics, the relevant interstate authority should be contacted to determine whether there are any particular conditions that should apply within its jurisdiction.

To get a permit for an unregistered overseas vehicle visit a VicRoads Customer Service Centre with the vehicle details and documents.
