interstate registration NSW to Vic

This has been thrashed out and done to death recently on a 4wd forum.

If you are ONLY A VISITOR you dont have to change into each state.
IF you live in a state and have residential qualifications EG A utilities bill, Rates or House insurance bill you have a limited time to change the rego and licence over.

In QLD its 14 days from taking up residency as per this answer i received from them when I asked the question


Thank you for your correspondence received via our Fast Info Website regarding proof of address requirements for vehicles registered in Queensland.

Under the national standards adopted by all States and Territories, a vehicle's garage address determines the state where it must be registered. This ensures that the funding for roads is collected in the state where the vehicle is used on the road. While all States and Territories have mutual recognition of registration for visiting interstate vehicles, if the permanent garage address changes to another State or Territory, the vehicle must be registered in that State or Territory.

All vehicles with interstate registration must be registered in Queensland 14 days after Queensland becomes the vehicle's permanent garaging address. In addition, vehicles over 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass must be registered in Queensland if the vehicle has been operating in Queensland for a continuous period of three months. An interstate registered vehicle being used in Queensland after either of these time periods is considered unregistered under Queensland law.

Temporary visitors from interstate are not required to register their vehicles in Queensland.

It is the responsibility of vehicle owners, operators and drivers to ensure that vehicles are properly registered. Various vehicle details are checked during random roadside vehicle interceptions conducted by Queensland Police and Transport Inspectors and this includes confirming registration details. Any offences detected are acted on by either issuing an infringement notice or prosecution action. In instances where an interstate registered vehicle is detected 14 days after the garage address has been changed to Queensland, an infringement notice for using an unregistered vehicle is issued.

The first paragraph is the key one as it says the rule applies to ALL states.

The temporary bit allows grey nomads etc to travel through each state without changing rego each time

Should answer the question.

Graham , you'l find that it all comes down to interpretation , 14 days AFTER you have taken up PERMANENT residency , every state in Australia allows a 3 mth period grace before you are a PERMANENT resident , also various occupations are Exempt from the rules.

Im only posting what the RTA said In the second paragraph it says 14 days after taking permanent residency

So if you take a lease on a house and get power connected that is permanent.

If you come and stay with friends for 3 months you are a visitor

Also

" In instances where an interstate registered vehicle is detected 14 days after the garage address has been changed to Queensland, an infringement notice for using an unregistered vehicle is issued."

Dont shoot the messenger

You can interpret all you like What they said are the rules.


Obviously you know more than the people that make the rules so can you quote a rule that gives you 3 months grace. If so do it otherwise!!!!!!!!

Here are the links to the Vic Roads site where the original poster would have

found the answer correctly instead of relying on opinions on here (mine included)

As you will see you get 3 months for your licence but not the car reg.

Absolute bull dust.

I am a permanent resident of Queensland and I AM NOT ON ANY ELECTORAL ROLL.

READ what it says.

It says if you move to a state and live there as a resident

Not as a holiday home which if you had one would be a holiday home and you would be a visitor.

I never mentioned nor did any one else mention leasing a house in a different state to what you LIVE in.

The question was about MOVING INTERSTATE and LIVING THERE.

When we asked what defined residency what I said was the answer.

We asked Tasmania the same question and got the same answer If you are living there residency is deemed to occur when you start paying for utilities.

Electoral rolls are a different matter and as far as I am concerned dont apply and never will.

Read the links I provided

You choose to interpret what you want to see.

Read what it says in the Qld RTA reply ITS THE GARAGING ADDRESS.

The topic on the 4wd forum was the same The guy was going to borrow his fathers ute ad go and live in Qld taking it with him.
Thae answer from QLD RTA was once it was garaged at an address in QLD it was required to be registered in QLD.

Dont get mad at me I am repeating what the authorities said that how they interpret residency.

I have been house sitting in NSW since March However I own a house in QLD and have gone back there for a week at a time inside the 3 month period.
I am therefore a visitor.

This has been asked of the authorities several times and the answer is the same in each occasion.

What have you to say about me not being on the Electoral Roll so Im an illegal Queenslander under your flawed assumption.


The only correct answer will be from the people the OP should have asked the question from in the first place THE VIC RTA.

Graham , it still comes down to interpretation , " garaging Adrress " !!!! ???? NO where on ANY vehicle registration form are you required to give a "garaging address " ........... the one and only that ask for a "garaging address"are the insurance companies to help/try to workout your premium,,,

Who cares, Im over it, you see what you like you usually do.

I repeated what the authorities said and if you see it otherwise good luck to you.

As I said the thread should have not been needed had the OP asked the correct people.

On the rego forms you are required to give your address where you live as far as I know.
I dont care I wonder why I bother sometimes.

Graham, thankyou for your patience.

Alloy c/t, can you please measure your responses, you have had two moderated here, and probably should have more. Your replies seem far too aggressive, and this is not the sort of behaviour we expect here.

Just keep it nice please, by all means disagree if you feel the need, but please refrain from using such aggressive language.

You are spot on Shaker. The car is the Lawful property of a permanent resident of NSW & therefore is lawfully registered in that state. It is on loan & the registration can be paid for online. Just as I can pay yours & you mine as long as it it paid & current. When the vehicle is sold or is a gift to someone it must be registered in Vic as per the conditions set out in the Vic Roads proceedures & Victorian Road Rules. To prove permanent residence anywhere the Police MUST PROVE BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT that you are living permanately in that state & they can do that in many ways, however the court must be satisfied BRD that is the situation.

You can also get it registered in Vic in her name at your address, she just has to sign that you can register it for her. Same as in NSW.

Cheers
Dave

As I said early on the question should have been asked of VIC RTA and not on here as only they can give a definitive answer.

Incidentally in the other thread I mentioned the answer was and is in the QLD reply I got, that its where its used that matters and not who owns it.

The guy had to register it in QLD if he was going to use it there as per the reply.

The rules for rental cars are of course different..

I wasnt trying to win but when I post a reply from a recognized authority I thought that would be enough.
As well I posted the links for the OP to read as to what VIC RTA say about it.

I wont be on the roll in Qld ever so I guess I shall have to remain an alien and go and live on a roof at Villawood with the rest of them ROFL

Shows your complete ignorance and inability to read.

I am none of the derogatry comments you make which shall be reported to Modsquad.

If you read any of my posts fully as you obviously dont or cant because of lack of an eye or whats behind it you would see I have no obligation to fulfil that law.

My pansion is 90% paid for by NZ BECAUSE I AM A NEW ZEALAND CITIZEN and am here by right.
I have no obligation and in fact CANNOT vote in Australia.

Alloy, you are a real hero. I think your attack on disabled people is as low as one can go, and you have gone there!
You must be proud of yourself buddy.................Lets hope noone with a disabled family member reads your last comment. you should be banned mate for life!

Thats OK have a screen shot to show my lawyer as thats libelous.

Alloy c/t your comments here are disgraceful and reflect poorly on yourself and sadly on our forum. Please cease to make such comments from this time onwards.

The Squad

Agreed but the question was how to register a NSW Owned and registered car in Victoria.

If the vehicles you have in any state stay in that state as yours do there is no problem.

Doesnt matter where you are its where the vehicles are that matters.

In this case they are asking how to transfer the rego to Vic from NSW.

What I am saying Graham is that the vehicle rego can be changed from NSW into Vic and remain in his mothers name. It is just a matter of getting a roadworthy in Vic (as they will not recognized interstate roadworthys) filling in the paper work signed by his mother. simple.
If he was to change the vehicle into his own name, he would have to pay stamp duty on the "value" of the vehicle as decided by vic roads, whether or not he payed any money for it.
My vehicles were registered in NT and I changed them to vic. I have also done visa-versa.

Cheers Tony

I realise that and didnt think they were going to change owners As u say do it like that.
