Transferring vehicle registration fees
Fees
Fees are correct as at 1 July 2025. All fees are subject to change without notice.
| Description | Fee |
|---|---|
| Fee payable when the operatorship of an ACT registered vehicle changes hands, usually through the sale of a vehicle. | $49.80 |
| Late transfer fee (transfer applied for later than 14 days after the date the vehicle was purchased or acquired). | $134.40 |
| Fee payable when establishing registration for vehicles that have not previously been registered in the ACT. | $114.40 |
| Re-registration of a vehicle (all vehicle types) that has previously been registered on the ACT vehicle register. | $58.00 |
| Fee payable when registering a goods trailer, fixed load (equipment) trailer or motorbike in the ACT for the first time. | $66.40 |
Please note the late fee is required in addition to the fee payable when the operatorship of an ACT registered vehicle changes hands, if the transfer occurs outside of 14 days. If you have evidence of extenuating circumstances, then the late transfer fee may not apply. Once the late transfer fee is paid, it is not refundable under legislation.
