Selling a car in Australia is mostly paperwork and a little theatre, with rules that jiggle about by state and territory.
Generally you’ll need proof of identity, proof of ownership, the current registration certificate, and any required roadworthy/safety inspection for your state (for example, a Roadworthy Certificate is commonly needed for transfer in VIC and QLD).
Have the service history, owner’s manuals, spare keys and a signed receipt ready, plus a PPSR check for the buyer and a finance payout letter if there’s money owing.
Complete and lodge transfer/notice‑of‑disposal forms promptly to avoid fines, keep copies of everything, and don’t hand over the keys until the funds actually land.
Finally, check your state authority’s site on the day—rules change about as often as petrol prices, and you want the official tick.
