Interstate Registration ?

Johnny, just insure it with the interstate reg, then change it when you get home. There are a lot of people register their vans in Victoria. If you have a mailing address there, problem solved.

If you buy it interstate then you simply tow it back here on its Vic plates.
Take it to a rego place that does Blue Slips. There's lots of them and they are listed on the Service NSW (old RTA) website somewhere.
He'll give it the once over and point out anything that does not comply with NSW and issue you with a Blue Slip. Take that to the RTA and they will issue rego papers plus a NSW plate. You don't get any credit for the remaining VIC rego.

I've done this on a VIC camper trailer. Its very straight forward.

You cannot register a vehicle in another state unless your MDL and home address is in that state.
Having "a mailing address in that state" is no longer an option.
You can register a vehicle in another state if you have a company or corporation registered in that state (a corporate "entity") - but you have to provide substantial proof of the companys registration, address, and corporate details such as ABN, etc.

I'm located in W.A., and I bought a ute in Victoria in 2005, which carried Victorian registration, and I tried to register it in my name in Victoria, using a friends address.

VicRoads returned my money with a notice stating that a vehicle cannot be registered in that state, unless the owner held an MDL in that state, and that that state was recorded as being the owners home state.

These regulations have been introduced to prevent re-birthing, and to try and prevent interstate transportation of stolen vehicles, trailers, caravans, etc.

To buy a road-registered item from another state, the buyer should de-licence the item and return the plates, and sell it to you unregistered.
You then need to obtain a Temporary Movement Permit to move the item to your state.
You need a TMP for every state you move through, unless there is a "reciprocal agreement" on TMP's, between the states you're moving across.

Failure to de-licence an item sold to a person from another state, renders the original owner liable to traffic fines incurred (such as speed camera fines) after the item is sold, and being moved around by the new owner.

You cannot use a vehicle registered in another state for more than 3 months, without transferring registration to that state, if your MDL and home address is in the state you have been using the interstate-registered vehicle in.

Why would the dealer "disapprove of" ie, deprecate, having a client ID? He has to know who he is selling it to for ownership reasons, with or without registration.
It is your responsibility to have it registered in your state.

I just did this with a 2nd hand van purchased in qld working out how it's done. Result,
1. call insurance company and arrange insurance, you don't need a rego number as long as its all legal what your doing.
2. Go to new rta and get a $35 unregistered permit.
3. Picked up van and gave qld plates back to seller. Drove home.
4. Get a nsw blue slip, $75. If you don't have old rego papers you will need a weigh bridge ticket.
5. Go to rta pay you $500 approx. Done.
Remember trying to keep the old plates only saves you $35 (you still Need to do everything else above anyway ) and you run the risk of the seller cancelling the rego on you without knowing
If buying new same process except no initial rego and you will need weighbridge ticket, but dealer may have one anyway.

Note nsw rta temp permit is valid in any state to get the vehical home

"nsw rta temp permit is valid in any state to get the vehical home"

Not exactly true for W.A.
Only if you are non-resident in W.A., will a TMP from another state be recognised for use in W.A.

If you are a resident of W.A., and enter W.A. on another states TMP, you are obliged to stop at the first police station, or shire council, that you encounter in W.A., and take out a W.A. TMP.

I have transported numerous vehicles from Eastern States to W.A. on TMP's, and I am conversant with W.A.'s requirements.

why don.t you ring your insurance company an ask there the one who know

You can purchase a vehicle or caravan/trailer in Victoria on an interstate licence the only slight problem you have is the number plates must either be removed and a permit obtained from Vic Roads or the interstate purchaser must attend a Vic Roads Office to try to have it registered in their name in this State if they own a property in this State.
Permits can be obtained over the phone for a caravan at roughly $29.00 for a seven day permit from memory, could be slightly less.
For insurance all that is required is the chassis and vin number at that stage to arrange for a cover note until it is registered in the home State.
