Restricted primary producer registration

If you're a primary producer, you can register vehicles other than tractors and agricultural machines to be moved between farm blocks.

How to apply

  1. Step 1

    Check you're eligible

    The vehicle must be owned by a primary producer who uses it to work two or more separate parcels of land in conjunction with each other.

    You must have a primary producer concession recorded before you can apply for restricted primary producer registration. Find out more about primary producer concession.

    Some operating conditions applied to a vehicle are outlined in gazette notices and codes of practice.

  3. Step 3

    Fill out the map

    You must provide a map or sketch of the area in which the vehicle is to be used. The map should show:

    • section numbers, hundreds and roads
    • indicate the route with a dotted line
    • include the distances to be travelled.
  4. Step 4

    Submit the form and pay the fee

    If the vehicle is already in your name, you can submit the form by phoning Service SA on 13 10 84, or in person at any Service SA centre.

    If the vehicle isn't in your name yet, you will need to attend a Service SA centre to submit the form.

    Restricted primary producer vehicles can be registered for a minimum of 3 months and maximum of 36 months.

    Registration renewals can be paid by direct debit or with a common expiry date.

How to change from restricted primary producer to regular registration

If you've already applied restricted primary producer to a vehicle, you can change back to regular registration at any time.

To re-register your vehicle, you'll first need to cancel the registration using an MR3 Application to Cancel Registration (87.9 KB PDF)

You can submit the form by phoning Service SA on 13 10 84, or in person at any Service SA centre.

You might need to pay a difference in registration fee.
