change of vehicle ownership wa Page 22

Changing vehicle ownership in Western Australia is a straightforward bureaucratic joy. You'll need to complete the transfer of ownership form and submit it to the Department of Transport within 14 days of the sale. The buyer typically handles this process to avoid any nasty surprises. Expect to pay a transfer fee, which varies depending on the vehicle's market value. Don’t forget to check the vehicle’s registration status and ensure no outstanding fines or encumbrances lurk in the shadows. For up-to-date forms and fees, ServiceCentral or the official WA Department of Transport website are your best mates.
