Unregistered Vehicle Permits

[Deziner]

So I need to get a UVP for my XT Forester so I can drive it down for an inspection to get it registered.

On the website it talks about an ibspection report but I dont quite understand what it is saying. It seems to say that if you want a UVP for more than a days duration you need to provide an old inspection report.

Is this correct?

I have no inspection reports unfortunately.

You don't need anything, you can just go to a shopfront and get a UVP
Might be able to do it over the phone/internet too.

^correct.

Take your old rego papers in with you. From 1 day to 1 week at a time...I think the max is 1 month in total??

[Deziner]

Thanks guys.

Will go in next week.

If you don't have an inspection report or if the car has been out of rego for more than 12 months, you are only supposed to be able to get a 0(1) day permit. Some people have talked their way into a long time.

The inspection report they ask for is if it failed but was not dangerous to drive, you can apply for a longer permit. And on the other hand, if it failed and was dangerous to drive, you can only get a single day.

[Deziner]

Unfortunately it has never had to go over the pits. It has been out of rego for over 12 months. Never been registered in ACT.

you could just drive it to the inspection station.

If your not happy in doing that fine someone that will.

[Deziner]

Do you mean without tge permit? Will the inspection place ask to see it though?

[Verms]

of course without the permit.

I dont think they ever ask for them.

Its more if you were to hit someone then the medical bills are covered.

Can someone else confirm?

[Deziner]

Thanks mate.

Stupid question but is there a time limited on the inspection reports? I.e. a week or a month etc.

[Sinista32]

28 days

[Deziner]

Thanks Richard.

[Sinista32]

No Worries - that's 28 days if you fail but it's not serious enough to cause harm.

[Deziner]

So what if it passes?

[Sinista32]

_{Good question. I have always gone and paid rego straight away but I expect you have the same amount of time.}

_{You would have to read the RWC.}

[Verms]

they are normally valid for 1 month.

[Deziner]

Correct. : )
