In NSW, transferring ownership is blissfully straightforward: the seller lodges a Notice of Disposal and the buyer transfers within 14 days via Service NSW (online or in person).
Expect a transfer fee and stamp duty; bring proof of identity, proof of acquisition (receipt), and the rego details, and make sure the CTP is current.
You usually don’t need a fresh inspection just to transfer, unless the rego’s lapsed, it’s defected, or it’s arriving from interstate.
Miss the 14‑day window and penalties lurk like a speed camera behind a shrub.
Do a PPSR check to confirm there’s no finance owing and verify the VIN unless you enjoy surprise plot twists.
For exact fees and edge cases (inheritance, interstate, personalised plates), consult official Service NSW guidance.
