Selling or transferring a used vehicle.
There are some important steps you cannot miss when selling or transferring your used vehicle. 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.
1 - Before you sell your vehicle it is necessary that the vehicle is registered under your name. A vehicle´s registration certificate (or renewal) can be used as a proof of ownership. You may access this data by using the VicRoads available at the VicRoads website.
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 3.

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.
