My Car is nearly due for registration. What will i have to go through to get it registerd her in VIC.

Will i have to get it inspected?

Check out the vicroads website for the relevant forms, or call them to see what is involved.

But from my understanding you will have to cancel your rego in SA, get a roadworthy here in Vic and go through the process of regoing your car here in vic with vicroads.

+1 for ^^^, but if ur car is defectable in a way that u need an engineers, then u will have to get it engineered to be road worthy..

but in melbourne it is were u go and who u see for rwc, some are fussy and some arnt as bad, if ur car is modded then find some1 who isnt to picky, if its a stocka then anywere will do..

Depends on the mods etc.

1. You'll need the RWC for sure, and proof of rego in SA i believe so you can transfer (maybe even proof on cancellation, i forget exactly)

2. You'll need to book an appointment @ VicRoads i believe (sometimes you can get away without one).

They will basically check the engine number against the RWC etc and give you a set of plates, doesnt take too long.

The rest will depends on the mods, if the car is heavily modified then you'll find probably nowhere will be prepared to give you a RWC it before an engineers is obtained to cover it.

If its near/is stock then you wont need anymore than then above two i believe

Definately check Vic Roads out as Ant says.

vicroads.vic.gov.au

Yes you have to pay a year in advance, about $560 for most people (i.e not farmers etc). To get that you will need a road worthy from an authorised center I believe.

well.. keep in mind having interstate rego has its benefits... if it was me I wouldn't change it for a while.. you're supposed to change it within 3 months.. but if you are back and forth between the states I would leave it as SA rego personally.

+1 for what kaz said. From what ive heard asking about being from interstate (as i am) the police will be a lot less inclined to pull you over about minor offences ie defects, as there is a loooot more paper work to be done if you have interstate plates on. I mean, how do they know if you go back to SA every two weeks.
