Introduction
An unregistered vehicle permit (UVP) allows you to drive an unregistered vehicle for a specific journey. It is only valid for the time required to complete that journey by the most direct route.
Note: If you're an overseas or interstate visitor, you need to visit a Service NSW Centre before you apply for the UVP, so you can be issued a customer number. Take your proof of identity documents with you when you visit the service centre.
Eligibility
Written-off vehicles are not eligible for UVPs.
Visit Transport for NSW for more information on what vehicles and journeys are eligible.
