Buying or transferring an used vehicle.
To sell, to buy or to transfer an used vehicle there are very important steps that you cannot miss. It is mandatory that all parties bring valid ID’s, with photo and not expired, to comply with the correct identification and to complete the vehicle`s transfer form properly.
Step 1.
The first step before you buy a vehicle is to check the Vehicles registration status. You can access this data by using the VicRoads available at the official VicRoads website, or by calling the number 1300 007 777. Once you have checked that the current legal situation of the vehicle is correct, and that it hasn't had any abnormal issues, you can proceed to the next phase.
2 - Download the PDF Vehicle transfer form from the official VicRoads website. In some scenarios it will be necessary to present a roadworthy certificate to the VicRoads authority. Please check the VicRoads website to check for any exemptions.
It will be mandatory to be in possession of the VicRoads customer number. (This number can be easily found in your driver's license or in the latest registration renewal notice).
3 - Proceed to buy the vehicle and complete the transfer form in a correct way. To avoid any mistakes, take your time when filling this document, ensure all the data is correct and don't miss any detail. Bear in mind that this document will have to be uploaded to the system and it must be easily legible.
The document must be signed by both parts.
It is strongly recommended that along with the transfer form, both parties agree and complete a receipt of purchase. After this, keep a copy or take a photo of all the documents in order to have a proof of the transaction.
Step 4.
Inform the VicRoads department within the next 14 days after the transaction has been done.
It is mandatory that the seller of the vehicle submits the “Notice of disposal” using the VicRoads account, and informs the VicRoads of the transaction. Once this process has been done, the vehicle will be transferred to the new owner within a day.
On the other hand, the buyer must complete the online procedure using the VicRoads personal account and comply with the next steps and the payment of the fee to finally complete the process.
Please bear in mind that all documents will be requested at this stage, and you will be asked to upload a picture or scan a PDF of the transaction documents.
