Swapping number plates in NSW is a straightforward Service NSW job: both vehicles should be NSW-registered and in the same name (or both parties present if transferring).
Bring valid ID, the plates (or the cars), proof of registration for each, and be ready to pay the plate exchange/transfer fee; update your CTP insurer and e‑toll account once the plates move.
Personalised or custom plates can usually be exchanged or transferred, but some special-issue or restricted plates can’t—Service NSW will confirm eligibility.
The counter staff record the change, issue updated rego details, and you fit the plates on the spot—no mechanical inspection needed just for a swap.
Do the paperwork first, then drive off legally; skip it and you could be unregistered faster than you can say “where’d my toll notice go?”.
