I have an unregistered/fully registered historic vehicle and I want to apply for conditional registration
You will first need to join a recognised historic vehicle club. These are listed on the Roads and Maritime website (
http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/roa ... -clubs.pdf).
If you want to opt-in to the log book trial you will need to join a recognised historic vehicle club that is participating in the log book trial.
To conditionally register a vehicle in the Historic Vehicle Scheme, customers must attend a Service NSW centre or registry and present:
A completed Application for Conditional Registration
(
http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/abo ... al-reg.pdf)
Proof of identity such as a NSW driver licence
Proof of registration entitlement (eg an original receipt for the vehicle, which clearly shows the buyer’s
name, the seller’s name, address and signature, the VIN or Chassis/frame or serial number and the date of acquisition)
A Historic Vehicle Declaration, signed by a recognised and participating historic vehicle club official, not greater than 42 days old (
http://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/documents/abo ... ration.pdf). Please note that a vehicle safety inspection report must be presented if the club is less than two years old.
Operators of newly conditionally registered historic vehicles will be issued:
Certificate of Conditional Registration
Certificate of Approved Operations, with the updated conditions
Historic Vehicle Log Book Trial form (if a member of a participating club).
If you are converting from full registration to conditional registration, you must surrender the full registration and number plates. You may be eligible for a refund of the unused portion of the vehicle tax or registration charge. Please note that a cancellation fee applies. You may also have the full registration number plates reserved at the Service NSW centre or registry or issued to a different vehicle for a fee. Distinctive historic vehicle number plates are issued with the conditional registration for a fee. You may also be eligible for a Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance premium refund. Please contact your CTP insurer for more information.
