Sell Vehicle in Williamstown
If you want to sell or transfer your vehicle it is very important that you are well organized all the time and you comply with all the VicRoads recommendations in order to correctly complete the process.
Selling or transferring a used vehicle.
If you are going to sell or transfer your used vehicle, there are some important steps you cannot miss. During the process, it is very important that all parts grant valid ID’s (Identification Cards, passports o Drivers license.). This is to avoid misunderstandings and to comply with the correct identification of both parts, and to complete the vehicle`s transfer safely.
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.
Complete the Vehicle transfer form (you can download it from the official VicRoads website).
A roadworthy certificate will be demanded in some cases by the VicRoads authority. Please check the VicRoads website to check you may apply for an exemption.
At this step you must possess your VicRoads customer number. This data can be founded in your driver's license or in your registration renewal notice.
In case you want to keep your number plates you will have to inform the VIcRoads department and cancel your registration. Note that this scenario will lead to a fee payment in order to be able to keep the number plates.
3 - Sell the vehicle and complete the transfer form correctly. To avoid mistakes, take your time when filling up this document. This step is very important, ensure all the data is correct and it's fully completed, don't miss any detail as this document will have to be uploaded to the system.
The document must be signed by both parts.
It is strongly recommended to fill up a receipt of purchase at this time. After this paperwork, keep a copy or take a photo 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.
