The safest way to legally drive an unregistered vehicle is with an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP).
You can only move an unregistered vehicle on the road when:
driving with an Unregistered Vehicle Permit
driving to VicRoads for a vehicle registration inspection
towing – on a trailer or behind a registered vehicle.
Driving with an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP)
An Unregistered Vehicle Permit allows you to drive an unregistered vehicle with some conditions.
When driving with an unregistered vehicle permit you are covered by the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) charge. This charge pays for treatment and support services for people injured in transport accidents.
For more information and to buy a permit see Unregistered Vehicle Permit.
Driving to VicRoads for a vehicle registration inspection
When driving to VicRoads for a vehicle registration inspection you don’t need a permit but you must:
call us on 13 11 71 for an appointment to get your vehicle inspected
take the most direct route to the VicRoads Customer Service Centre
carry a current roadworthy certificate with you
carry your appointment details with you.
If the vehicle isn’t registered at your appointment, you must purchase an Unregistered Vehicle Permit to drive home legally.
