Other options
When you acquire an unregistered SA vehicle (including trailers, caravans and motorcycles), you must apply for registration before you can use it on the road.
If there's no change in ownership go to renew registration instead.
Register a vehicle online using a mySA GOV account.
You'll need:
- the registration number
- the engine number
- the vehicle identification number (VIN) or chassis number.
If the engine number or VIN are unknown or don't match the registration database then an identity inspection will be required.
Cost
You will need to pay:
- registration fees
- stamp duty - use the calculator.
Heavy vehicles
If the vehicle or trailer has a gross vehicle mass (GVM) or aggregate trailer mass (ATM) over 4.5 tonnes, and is three years or older from date of manufacture then a change of ownership inspection will be required.
