Lads,
I have purchased cars before from interstate and either drove them back to Qld with NSW registration (and then handed the plates to Qld transport) or have had the vehicles transported up by commercial companies. But this time, I'm thinking of picking the car up and driving it back, possibly unregistered. What I found in my research so far; - Qld Permit only applies for Qld and interstate but if you leave from Qld. - Have to apply for NSW Permit as I'll be driving in NSW but unsure if I also need a Qld permit on top of the NSW one - To apply for a NSW permit, which I can do by submitting the forms via email (not sure how the payment works) but I'll need a NSW Customer Number which I must obtain in person from a NSW Service Centre first. Then I can apply for a permit. Has anyone from Qld driven an unregistered car from NSW to Qld? What was the process? Maybe I should just get it transported to Qld and be done with it? |

I’ve used UVPs from NSW on journeys across multiple states. No problems, even when I nominated a bit of tourism en route.
You will need a valid Australian issued driver’s licence and (not required but helpful) a couple of other bits to confirm identity, as your NSW RMS ID will be with your Queensland address. If you’re picking up the car in Sydney I suggest the Macquarie Park Service NSW branch. It’s a convenient one for access to/from by public transport in most directions. They are a bit quartermaster-ish with permit durations now in NSW, I suggest attaching a document as annexure, which thoroughly maps your intended journey and stops. Even add a couple of “rest days” at overnight stops. That way, any niggles are able to be dealt with inside the issued permit’s timeframe - you can always drive ahead of schedule if all is good. Make sure the sticker isn’t hidden by the tint band, also keep the paperwork either clipped to the dash or on top of everything else in the glovebox. |

Upon applying for the UVP, is it handed over from the counter straight away and you just display the sticker and paperwork? |

If you map your route on Google or Apple Maps and print/dump the page, it can be submitted as annexure when doing the paperwork in person. Where you describe the route, because there’s negligible space you write something like “Sydney NSW to Rockhampton QLD per Annexure A” - which is your clearly annotated map.

Picked a new truck up from QLD not yet registered, had to get a permit for each state we drove through, some easier than others

Just adding a complete check of the vehicle first so it complies with the "Vehicle safe for use" declaration form you sign.

Bought a car from a dealer in nsw many years back and drove it back to Adelaide. The dealer got me to follow him around to a mechanic mate of his, who did the paperwork that was required to get a permit to drive it home.
As mentioned by CB, they are quite strict on the duration and give you the bare minimum to get to the relevant registration place in your home state. They were only going to give me 1 day and I had to explain to them the logistics of driving back to Adelaide and the fact that the nearest dept of transport inspection facility only operated Wednesday and Thursday. So yes, be clear with your plan as well.

Also, with insurance my provider has no issue with the vehicle being on a permit, they just put in whatever to fill the rego field, like “TBA” and note the VIN.
