In Queensland, transfer a registered vehicle within 14 days via TMR (online with a QGov account or at a transport centre) and expect to pay a transfer fee plus vehicle registration duty.
Sellers must have a current Safety Certificate before offering most registered light vehicles for sale, and should record the buyer’s details, sale price and date.
Buyers need proof of identity, the VIN/rego and odometer, and the sale price; lodge the transfer, pay the fees, and keep the receipt like it’s your new best mate.
CTP insurance rides with the rego in QLD, so it transfers with the car; you can change insurer at renewal.
If the vehicle is unregistered, you’ll need a Safety Certificate and separate registration instead of a transfer, or a permit to move it.
Miss the 14‑day window and you risk late fees, which sting more than a magpie in spring.
