If you sell or dispose of a vehicle, you must notify Service SA. If you don’t, you could be held responsible for parking and other driving offences until the new owner transfers the registration into their name.
Notify Service SA online using a mySA GOV account.
There is no fee to lodge a disposal notice.
You'll need:
- the buyer's:
- date of birth
- first and last name
- South Australian driver's licence or client number
- the date and time of sale, and the selling price.
If you don't have all of the buyer's details, or have sold the vehicle interstate, view other ways to lodge a notice.
If you don't authorise the transfer of the remaining registration to the buyer (and elect to cancel), you must declare this when lodging online. You should advise the buyer that the vehicle will be unregistered. Cancellation is not automatic and must be completed separately.
If you want to cancel the registration you must do so within seven days.
