In WA, transferring car ownership is a DoTDirect job: the buyer starts the transfer online, the seller lodges a disposal, and you’ve got 14 days before late fees hiss.
Have the VIN/plate, sale price, odometer reading, and both parties’ WA licence details ready; the buyer pays vehicle licence duty (stamp duty) plus a transfer fee.
No roadworthy certificate is required for private sales in WA, so save the spanners for when something actually breaks.
If online isn’t an option, you can file the forms at a DoT centre and queue like it’s 2007.
Keep a receipt, check the rego/CTP status, and note personalised plates may have their own little admin circus.
