You can act on behalf of a person or company who is unable to attend a VicRoads office. To do this, you need a letter of authority.

To act on behalf of another person

You can only do this if the person you're acting on behalf of has previously visited a VicRoads Customer Service Centre and had their evidence of identity documents confirmed. 

To identify yourself, you must provide the following:

• your Victorian Licence or learner permit or
• a Category A document (External link) if you are a non-Victorian Licence or learner permit holder and have previously visited a VicRoads Customer Service Centre and have had your evidence of identity documents (External link) confirmed or
• a Category A document, Category B document (External link) and evidence of your address (an interstate residential address is acceptable)

To act on behalf of another person you must also provide one of the following:

• a completed and signed VicRoads Vehicle Registration form [PDF 209 Kb] (External link) (including the authority to act as agent section), or
• a signed VicRoads Authority to Act as an Agent form [PDF 253 Kb] (External link), or
• an original letter of authority from the person you are acting for. It must include the following information:
• the person's full name and address
• the person's driver licence, learner permit, or customer number (if they only have a vehicle registered in their name in Victoria)
• the person's signature
• the full name and licence or learner permit number (if applicable) of the person acting on their behalf (ie, the person to whom the authority is given)
• the activity or list of activities that can be performed on behalf of the person (eg, renew registration)
