Unregistered vehicle permit

[Prado BB]

Does anyone know, if I buy a new camper trailer in Victoria and wish to drive it home in NSW whether I can do it on a Vicroads unregistered vehicle permit?

I believe that the Victorian dealer can register it for you in NSW.

Im in NSW and when I purchased mine from Vic I rang them and the permit was sent to me a few weeks before, cant remember the number but it was the Vic Rego Dept

Hi,
 I bought a new vehicle in Victoria, to take back to Tasmania.
I was given a 28 day (I think) temporary permit to get home with and sort out Tas inspections and registration.
No dramas without a number plate when boarding the ferry either.
cheers

I think you'll find that the permit is useless in NSW, if a copper pulls you over, he will still book you, might be fine for other states, but hear it is still classed as unregistered and uninsured.

In NSW all vehicles MUST be registered.

Andy,

Maybe check with NSW RTA to see if you get a permit to bring the CT back from Vic.  Other option is to see if the CT manufacturer will lend you trade plates.  We are using this option (I think) to bring our CT from QLD to NSW.

Would be interested to see how you go.

Just checked on the Web (NSW RTA):

Unregistered Vehicle Permits (UVPs)

An Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) is valid for up to 28 days and allows you to drive or ride an unregistered vehicle on the road network for a specific journey, including:

    A single journey from A to B.
    A return journey from A to B to A.
    A number of defined trips to be completed within 28 days, eg from A to B to C to D.
    For a specific purpose over a number of days up to a maximum of 28, eg for harvesting during a defined period.

UVPs provide only limited access to the road network. They are not intended to cover the regular use of a vehicle on a road or road-related area (eg footpaths, nature strips, public driveways, public carparks etc).

A UVP must not be used as a substitute for full registration.

Vehicles carrying a commercial load and vehicles exempt from registration cannot be issued with a UVP.

UVPs are valid in all States and Territories except Western Australia.

I've just looked into this in NSW to move a friends camper. You have to get a pink slip inspection done then take it to an RTA office for them to provide the permit. In other words you must prove its roadworthy.

Well, you might as well just registered it if that's the case

I can see your point, But to register it in my case would need a blue slip.
