Assignment of club permit or street rod number plates
If a vehicle is given or sold to another person, the current Club Permit must be cancelled, and a new Club Permit application must be completed and provided to VicRoads. The new applicant can request that the existing number plates remain on the vehicle provided that:
- the Club Permit must be current or expired no more than three months
- the applicant is a member of the same approved vehicle club as the previous permit holder
- the Club Permit number plate is assigned to the same vehicle
If the vehicle has not been sold and the Club Permit is cancelled, a new Club Permit application must be made. The existing Club Permit number plates may remain on the vehicle provided that the application is by the same Club Permit holder.
Cancelling a Club Permit
If a club permit holder wishes to cancel a permit, the number plate(s) can be returned to any VicRoads Customer Service Centre.
