Unregistered vehicle permits
Unregistered vehicles cannot be driven on the road unless an unregistered vehicle permit has been obtained or the vehicle is exempt from registration.
Unauthorised sellers of unregistered vehicle permits
VicRoads has become aware of unauthorised third-party websites selling Unregistered Vehicle Permits (UVPs) at inflated prices.
To ensure you pay the correct amount and keep your personal information secure, please purchase UVPs through the VicRoads website. We do not authorise or sell UVPs through third parties.
When buying a UVP from VicRoads, always check that the website address in your browser is www.vicroads.vic.gov.au, especially when making your payment.
Additionally, please note that only our website displays the VicRoads logo, which unauthorised third-party websites will not have.
We are working hard to prevent fraudulent activity.
You can’t drive an unregistered vehicle on the road unless you have a permit. You can get an unregistered vehicle permit (UVP) from us to drive your vehicle for specific reasons.
The most common reasons to apply for a UVP are:
- you’re preparing the vehicle for registration in Victoria
- for a single trip or journey
- for a construction vehicle or a tracked vehicle.
Visit the Unregistered vehicle permits (External link) page on the Transport Victoria website to find out when you can use a UVP and other requirements you need to know. Read all the information there before you apply for the permit with us.
Costs
The cost of a UVP depends on the length of time you need it, the type of vehicle and the garaged address.
