Modify, update or transfer a club permit vehicle
Find out what to do if you need to modify, update or transfer your club permit vehicle.
Club permit vehicles are subject to different rules than standard road vehicles. Use the information below if you want to modify, update or transfer your club permit vehicle to another person.
Let us know about a modified club permit vehicle
You need to let VicRoads know if you’ve modified your club permit vehicle. Club permit vehicles can be modified within specific guidelines without needing an approval certificate. Read the standards for club permit vehicles information on the Transport Victoria website for details of which modifications need additional approval.
If your vehicle modification doesn’t require additional approval, your club will still need to re-inspect the vehicle and issue you with a new Vehicle Eligibility and Standards Declaration for Club Permit Vehicles form. The completed and signed form then needs to be provided to VicRoads within 14 days of the modification.
Update your club permit details
You need to let us know within 14 days if you change the:
- address(es) of your club permit vehicle
- car club or association
- description of the vehicle.
Follow the instructions below for the type of change you need to let us know about.

How to let us know |
| Address(es) |
The easiest way to let us know about a change to the Victorian garage address of the club permit vehicle is when you renew your permit online via myVicRoads.
If your renewal isn’t due or you are changing your residential or postal address, you’ll need to come into a VicRoads Customer Service Centre with the following information:
- club permit holder's name
- club permit number
- details of the change of address.
|
| Change of car club or association |
If you want to transfer your club permit vehicle to another approved club, you’ll need the following documents:
- Signed letter from you (or the club permit holder) advising of the change and list any club permit vehicles that you want to link to the new club.
- A Vehicle Eligibility and Standards Declaration for Club Permit Vehicles form from the new nominated club for each vehicle being transferred.
- Letter from an office bearer at the new club confirming that you’re a current member. If the club permit holder is a company or incorporated association, the letter confirming financial membership should be made out to the company or incorporated association and not a representative.
Take the documents with you to a VicRoads Customer Service Centre to submit your change of car club/association.

Transfer a club permit
Club permits are not transferable. If the vehicle is given to or sold to another person, the current club permit must be cancelled. If the new owner wants a club permit for the vehicle, they’ll need to complete a new club permit application.
If a club permit holder has passed away, the permit can be reassigned to their spouse or domestic partner if they are a member of an approved club. Learn more about reassignment or cancellation of a club permit for a deceased estate.
