VicRoads has launched the final stage of its eTransfers system, allowing buyers and sellers of second-hand vehicles to complete the transfer of ownership online.

The Agency said that over the past 18 months, significant improvements had been made to the registration transfer process to protect the interests of customers and ensure timely, accurate updates to the Vehicles Register.

“Completing the transfer process online saves customers time and effort without having to visit a Customer Service Centre,” VicRoads said.

“It also means that transfer information is processed quickly and securely to assist law enforcement in case of traffic infringements,” it said.

VicRoads said that when a registration transfer was between individuals, sellers could use the myVicRoads online application to transfer vehicle registrations from their name into the buyer’s name.

“When a buyer logs into their myVicRoads account, vehicles that have been transferred into their name and have outstanding transfer requirements will be highlighted for action,” it said.

“From within the online application, buyers can review transfer details already provided to VicRoads, enter details of their Roadworthy Certificate, upload images and files directly and make a payment for their transfer and motor vehicle duty fees, unless exempt.”

VicRoads said licensed motor car traders must continue to use the VicRoads partner portal to process all transfers of registration.
