Introduction

As a licensed motor dealer, if you want authorisation to register vehicles, transfer and renew vehicle registrations and order number plates, you'll need to apply for a dealer agreement under the Dealer Vehicle Registration Scheme (DVRS). You can do this at a Service NSW Centre.

Note: The Dealer Online (DOL) system allows motor vehicle dealers to complete registration transactions online, without having to visit a service centre. You can submit your application for DOL access at the same time as completing your motor dealer agreement.

Eligibility

You must be one of the following:

  • a dealer in NSW or within 50km of the NSW border, engaged in the sale, distribution and management of new vehicles or second-hand vehicles (or both), and who holds a NSW Dealer Licence or interstate equivalent, or
  • a NSW based manufacturer or retailer of new trailers weighing less than 250kg, or
  • a NSW based entity who is engaged in the distribution or management of new motor vehicles.
