What Paperwork You Need When Selling Your Car in Australia

Whether you’re selling privately or to a professional buyer, have these documents ready:

1. Certificate of Registration (rego): Shows current registered owner.
2. Roadworthy Certificate (where required): Some states require a safety inspection for private sales.
3. Service history: Records of maintenance and repairs build buyer confidence.
4. Proof of ID: Both parties should exchange identification for the transfer paperwork.
5. Payment receipt / bill of sale: Write a simple receipt that notes vehicle details, VIN, price, buyer and seller signatures.

For end-of-life or scrap vehicles, we provide a receipt and handle deregistration if required. If you’re arranging a car removal, we’ll provide the documentation you need.
