Alright so im trying to sell my car but its got custom plates on it. I wanna keep the custom plates, so im told i need to put them into storage, but from there, do i need to go and order new random yellow plates? I can't seem to find my answer on the RTA website, and i have no time this week to call them up.

So when i download the custom plate form, do i need 2?
1 for "storage" of plate
second for "ordering a new plate"?

how much is just a random yellow plate? it has no price for it on the RTA website, only for fully custom yellow plates.

If i have to order the new yellow plates, how long is that goin to take, i remember it took a month for my customs to come in.. as i want to have the car up for sale now.

And is the storage fee 60$ for the year? Seeing as im probably only going to have them in storage for about 2 months max, (depending on how long it takes to sell and buy another car) do they still charge 60, or do they charge for how long they were in?

One last thing, see'ing as i have 3 cars at home, I'm thinking maybe i should just transfer the plates around, do they allow that? Both cars are under my fathers name tho, so do i just need to download the form for transfer, get him to sign it, and i just go to the RTA (he works all day and has no time to go RTA himself) with a letter from him that acknowledges me acting on his behalf, and also both registration certificates?

I know its a lot of questions, and i should call the RTA, but probably be useful information just to have up here

your plates to put in storage are $150 even if its for 1 day or up to 1 year.

normal plates cost $30 something dollars which come with the new rego sticker.

just need 1 form for storage of plates.

need also signature of your dads so he authorises you to act on behalf of him.

Say if you want to swap your custom plates to another car but the car it is on just ran out of rego by a couple of days do you have to pay any storage fees if you never let the rta take them
