What is Form 1010?
The Application for Transfer of Registration records the change of a registered vehicle from a seller to a buyer in New South Wales. It captures the vehicle details, the seller and buyer details, the sale price, and declarations from both parties, so the registration and the record of the registered operator can be updated. Motor vehicle duty may apply to the transfer.
Form 1010 is a dynamic PDF, so it does not fill in a web browser and will not display in the in-browser editor or quick-fill form here. Download it and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader to complete the fields, then print it for signing. The transfer must be lodged within the period Transport for NSW requires, so check the current time limit and any duty at the agency site.
