Sell Vehicle in Ararat
At the time to sell or transfer a vehicle it is very important that the procedure is well organized and it complies with the VicRoads recommendations in order to do it legally.
Selling or transferring your used vehicle.
If you are selling or transferring your used vehicle, there are some important steps you should not miss. It is very important that all parts grant valid ID’s during the process (Identification Cards, passports o Drivers license.). This is to comply with the correct identification of both parts, and to complete the vehicle`s transfer in a safe way.
Step 1.
The first step before you sell your vehicle is to assure that the current vehicle is registered under your name. You can access this data by using the VicRoads available at the official VicRoads website. A vehicle´s registration certificate (or renewal) can be used as a proof of ownership as well.
2 - Download the documentation - The “Vehicle transfer” form is available at the official VicRoads website.
In some cases a roadworthy certificate will be requested by the VicRoads authority. Please check the VicRoads website to check for any exemption.
It will be necessary that you possess your VicRoads customer number. Which can be founded in your driver's license or in the latest registration renewal notice.
At this stage of the procedure, it is necessary that you clarify the VicRoads if you want to keep your number plates or not. In case you want to keep them, please inform the VIcRoads department and cancel your registration. Bear in mind that a fee payment will be necessary in order to keep the number plates.
Step 3.
Sell the vehicle and complete the transfer form in the correct way. Take your time when filling up this document to avoid mistakes. Ensure all the data is correct and it's fully completed, don't miss any detail. The document must be signed by both parts. This is very important, as this document will have to be uploaded to the system and be easily legible.
Along with the transfer form, it is highly recommended to 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.
4 - Inform the VicRoads in the following 14 days after the transaction has been done.
As the seller of the vehicle, you must submit the “Notice of disposal” using the VicRoads account, to inform the VicRoads of the transaction. Once this process is done, the vehicle will be transferred to the new owner in one day. On the other side, the buyer must complete the online procedure using his/her VicRoads personal account and proceed to the payment of the fee to finally complete the process. If all this process is not completed in 14 days, the transaction will be suspended.
Please bear in mind that at this stage all documents will be requested, and you will be asked to upload a picture or a PDF of all the documents.
Selling your vehicle to a dealer.
In this scenario is the dealers own responsibility to go through all the paperwork on your behalf. A fee payment will be conducted and it is strongly recommended to keep a copy (or photo) of all the signed documents.
