    Hi Guys,

    My 78 Y.O. father just rang me wanting to keep his car reg'd in NSW, he's lived in QLD for nearly 12 months now. I'm certain it will cost less in QLD anyway...

    Issue he seems to have encountered is that the inspection station(s) he's contacted wanted the car for 3 hours to do the damned inspection...so he's automatically assuming that there will be a ridiculous repair bill to get it past registration.

    FWIW he's in Broadbeach so if anyone knows of an inspection station that isn't going to try and take advantage, speak up

    Anyway does anyone else have experience with this process can shed some light on it for me.

    If I was you, tell him to nip over the boarder into a NSW transport department office and change his address to yours in Avalon, then his renewals will get sent to you and you can pass them on.

    If he transfers the rego to Qld, then he will be required to complete a Road Worthy Certificate and will have to hand in his NSW plates and be issued with Qld plates.

    Being a nsw car, the annual inspection should mean he's on top of most things, so it shouldn't be an issue. The station may want it for 3 hours because they will fit it in around other work. At least he shouldn't have to pay stamp duty.

    This is one of my gripes about state run governments instead of federal systems - same country, different rego, different systems. I can't buy a bike interstate, fly down, register it and ride home via a holiday. We are too small a country for 3 tiers of government, it is unnecessary and expensive and... Oops, I'm ranting.

    Car is - jeez, from memory a BA Falcon Ute - so she's old and will need an inspection in whichever state, he was just spooked by the mob at the garage saying we're really thorough and it' going to take 3 hours. He's driven trucks all his life so is no stranger to "Inspectors" with clipboards making life difficult and he certainly doesn't want to get stiffed by a garage just padding the bill...

    I think it's going to be re-registered at my address at this stage
