car transfer victoria

Car transfer in Victoria is blessedly simple: the seller confirms the sale with VicRoads, hands over the paperwork, and you lodge the transfer online via your myVicRoads account.

You generally need a current Roadworthy Certificate (some exemptions apply), plus proof of purchase with the VIN and odometer.

Do it within 14 days or you risk late fees and other grumps from the bureaucracy.

You’ll pay a transfer fee and motor vehicle duty in AUD, calculated from the vehicle’s dutiable value and type—no haggling with the taxman, sadly.

Buying from a dealer? They usually sort the admin, leaving you to argue about floor mats and paint protection.

Consult official documentation for exact figures and up-to-date requirements.
