What if someone else is registering the vehicle on my behalf?
If someone else registers on your behalf they'll need to bring an original and signed authority to act as an agent form [PDF 253 Kb].
Evidence of your Victorian garage address
You'll need to bring evidence of one of the following:
- a Victorian home or business address
- an RMB (road side mailbox) or RSD (road side delivery) if the home or business can't be identified by a street or road name
If you have an interstate or overseas home or business address
You'll need to bring separate evidence of a Victorian garage address such as a rates or utility bill.
What about imported, modified or written-off vehicles?
You'll need additional documents to register if your vehicle is imported, has been modified or written off.

Here's what you pay for:
- standard registration charge
- number plate fee
- Transport Accident Commission charge
- motor vehicle duty fee
You don't have to pay motor vehicle duty if you've got evidence that your vehicle's already been registered in your name in Australia.
Can I use previous number plates?
Using general issue plates
You can re-use general plates on the same vehicle when registering but you'll need to pay a fee that gives you the rights to the plates (as long as they're not already owned by another person or company).
Using custom plates
Let us know at the appointment if you want to put custom plates on. If the plates have been on another vehicle before, you'll need to pay a plate assignment fee.
Other vehicles
