Changing number plates in Victoria is a VicRoads gig—mercifully more admin than adventure. Decide what you’re doing: swapping styles, replacing lost/stolen plates, moving plates between cars you own, or sorting plates after a sale. Order or manage plates via your myVicRoads account or book a visit; bring ID and rego details, and if plates are stolen, lodge a police report and get an event number before driving. Expect fees, and be ready to surrender damaged plates when asked; standard plates usually stay with the vehicle at sale, while personalised plates can be retained or reassigned. When in doubt, check VicRoads’ requirements for your exact scenario—saves a second trip and a third sigh.
