Before you buy the vehicle, make sure you check that:
You can do this by searching the Personal Property Security Register (PPSR) or by calling 1300 007 777.
Ask the seller to give you a receipt when you take ownership of the vehicle. There’s a VicRoads receipt template (PDF) you can use. This provides you with proof of the sale.
You’ll also need to get a roadworthy certificate for the vehicle, unless it’s exempt. A licensed vehicle tester from Victoria can check your vehicle and give you a certificate.
Once the vehicle is yours, register it at a VicRoads Customer Service Centre. If you need to drive it there, make sure you get an Unregistered vehicle permit from Transport Victoria.
Find out more about unregistered vehicle permits.
Make an appointment and bring the interstate plates (if you have them). If you bring the plates, we’ll give you a number plate receipt.
When you book your appointment, we’ll let you know if your vehicle needs to be inspected. Find out more about registering a vehicle in Victoria.
Registering your vehicle in Victoria may not automatically cancel the interstate registration. Once you’ve handed in the plates at your appointment and received your receipt, contact the interstate authority to discuss cancellation and refunds.
