can a 17 year old register a car in qld

In Queensland, a 17-year-old can technically register a car, but there are hoops to jump through. The registrant must have a valid driver's licence; at 17, this usually means a provisional or open licence. Additionally, the vehicle must pass a safety inspection if it's not brand new, and all fees and insurance must be sorted. Banks and insurance companies might raise an eyebrow (and the premium) when dealing with such a youthful registrant. For the nitty-gritty, check with the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads.
