In Queensland, personalised plates are yours via PPQ, not the car’s—so don’t let them wander off with a buyer like a souvenir beach towel.
To remove them from a registered vehicle, arrange a plate swap with TMR/PPQ: order standard plates, have the record updated, fit the new plates, and either put the personalised set on hold with PPQ or surrender them at a TMR Customer Service Centre.
You’ll need ID, rego details, and to pay plate/admin fees—simple, if not exactly thrilling.
Selling the car? Transfer the personalised plates to another vehicle or place them on hold first, then hand over the car wearing the new standard plates.
Returning or cancelling plates without a replacement triggers a new registration number—tell your insurer and toll accounts immediately.
Edge cases (unregistered, written-off, or moving interstate)? TMR or PPQ will confirm the exact form and fees, and save you a second trip.
