In Queensland, transferring car registration is pleasantly straightforward: both buyer and seller must lodge the transfer within 14 days of the sale or cop a late fee.
You’ll need a current Safety Certificate (for registered private sales), proof of ID, sale details and the rego info; do it online via TMR or in person at a TMR customer service centre.
Expect a transfer fee plus vehicle registration duty, and remember CTP insurance follows the rego, though you can change providers.
If it’s unregistered or coming from interstate, you’re looking at a new registration instead—more hoops, fewer surprises later; yes, the paperwork is longer than a Bunnings receipt, but it’s doable.
