light vehicle modification plate victoria

In Victoria there isn’t a “light vehicle modification plate” like Queensland’s; you need a VASS (Vehicle Assessment Signatory Scheme) engineer’s certificate instead.

For significant mods—engine swaps, seating changes, or major suspension/brake alterations—you’ll get a VASS report, address any fixes, and present it to VicRoads for approval/recording.

Minor accessories that keep the car within published guidelines typically don’t need VASS, but anything safety‑critical or performance‑altering probably does.

Carry the certificate with the vehicle, keep receipts, and make sure the work matches exactly what the engineer signed off.

Bottom line: speak to a VASS signatory before you pick up the spanners; it’s cheaper than arguing with an inspector afterwards.
