During the process, it is very important that all parts grant valid ID’s (Identification Cards, passports o Drivers license.). This is very important to avoid any misunderstandings and comply with the correct identification of both parties. Please complete the vehicle`s transfer safely by using valid IDs with photo.
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.
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.
At this step, it is necessary that you observe if you want to keep your number plates or no. In case you want to keep them you will have to inform the VIcRoads department and cancel your registration. Bear in mind that this scenario can lead to a fee payment in order to keep the number plates.

Step 4.
Inform the VicRoads within the next 14 days after the transaction has been done.
The seller of the vehicle will submit the “Notice of disposal” using his/her VicRoads account, and will inform the VicRoads of the transaction. Once this process has been done, the vehicle will be transferred to the new owner from one day to another. Then the buyer will have to complete the online procedure using the VicRoads personal account and complete the payment of the fee to finally conclude the process. If the process is not completed in the time frame of 14 days, all the transaction will be suspended.
