Sell Vehicle in Morwell
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 a 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.
Before you sell your vehicle, first you must assure that the vehicle is registered under your name. You can access this data by entering the official VicRoads website. Bear in mind that 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.
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.
Please bear in mind that at this stage all documents will be requested, and you will be asked to upload a picture or scan a PDF of the transaction documents.
Selling your vehicle to a dealer.
If this is your case, you won't have to do much. It’s the dealers own responsibility to do all the paperwork on your behalf. A fee payment will be conducted and once the payment is completed, it is important to keep the receipt and a copy (or photo) of all the documents.
