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.
Step 2.
Download the Vehicle transfer form from the official VicRoads website.
In some cases a roadworthy certificate will be demanded by the VicRoads authority. Please check the VicRoads website to check the exemptions.
It will be necessary that you possess your VicRoads customer number. This number can be founded in your driver's license or in your latest registration renewal notice.
Step 3.
Buy the vehicle and complete the transfer form in the correct way. When filling this document, take your time, to avoid any mistakes. Ensure all the data is correct and don't miss any detail. The document must be signed by both parts. Be aware that this document will have to be uploaded into the system and it must be legible.
It is highly recommended that along with the transfer form, both parties fill up a receipt of purchase. After completing all the paperwork, keep a copy 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.
If this process is not completed for both parts within the time period of 14 days, the transaction will be suspended.
Buying a vehicle from a car dealer.
