In the NT, transferring car ownership runs through the MVR, and the buyer must lodge the transfer within 14 days or risk a late fee.
You’ll need a signed proof of sale with VIN/engine number, rego, price and date, acceptable ID, and money for the stamp duty and transfer fee.
Private NT-to-NT sales generally don’t require a roadworthy, but interstate vehicles or defected cars may need an inspection.
Sellers should lodge a notice of disposal straight away and keep copies; buyers can transfer online (if eligible) or at an MVR counter.
Make sure there are no outstanding fines and the rego/CTP is current—then it’s done quicker than you can find a working pen at the service counter.
