selling car without rwc vic Page 333

Yes, you can sell a car in Victoria without a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC), but the rego can’t be transferred until an RWC (issued within the last 30 days) is supplied to VicRoads. If you’re not providing one, sell it unregistered: cancel the rego, remove and return the plates to VicRoads, and the buyer can grab an Unregistered Vehicle Permit to drive it. If you sell it still registered, the buyer must source the RWC and lodge the transfer within 14 days—otherwise they’re stuck and you’ll keep copping fines and tolls until you file the Notice of Disposal. File that Notice of Disposal with VicRoads within 14 days regardless, so the system knows the car’s no longer yours. Put “sold as is, no RWC” on the receipt and sleep like a baby who’s handed in their plates.
