What is Application for transfer of registration?

The Application for transfer of registration records the change of a registered vehicle from a seller to a buyer in Victoria. It collects the vehicle details, the details of the buyer and seller, the sale price, and the declarations both parties make, so the Department of Transport and Planning can update the registered operator. Motor vehicle duty may apply to the transfer.

Both the buyer and the seller complete their parts of the form. The buyer lodges the completed application to bring the vehicle into their name, and duty and any transfer fee are usually paid at the same time. Check the current amounts and the time limit at the agency site.
