car registration transfer nsw

In NSW, transfer the car’s registration within 14 days of purchase or expect a late fee—yes, the state likes its paperwork punctual.

The seller lodges a Notice of Disposal; the buyer completes the transfer via Service NSW online or in person with proof of identity and proof of purchase.

You’ll pay stamp duty and a transfer fee, and the CTP Green Slip must be current; an eSafety check isn’t required just to transfer unless registration renewal is due.

Bringing in an interstate or unregistered car? You’ll need a blue slip inspection before it can wear NSW plates.

Have the VIN, plate number, odometer reading and receipts handy, and keep copies—because nothing ruins new-car joy like chasing missing documents.
