Notify Transport for NSW that a customer has died

Introduction

To advise Transport for NSW that a person with licences and/or vehicle or vessel registrations has died, visit a Service NSW Centre with documents to confirm the death.

The Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages will inform Transport for NSW of the death, but that may take some time.

  • death certificate (original or copy)
  • newspaper death notice
  • letter from a solicitor or the NSW Trustee and Guardian advising that the person has died
  • a completed Advice of Death – PDF form together with proof of identity documentation for the person who died
  • in the case of a missing person presumed deceased, a 'Presumption of Death Order' issued by the Supreme Court (original or copy).

How to notify

Take the document to a service centre.
