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.
If you want to cancel the registration rather than transfer it to the new owner, you must also do this within seven days.
Notify Service SA online using a mySA GOV account.
There is no fee to lodge a disposal notice.
What you'll need
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, see 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.
