    Recently I bought a used car with its original number plate. How do I change the number plate on my car?

    According to VicRoads (the Victorian state registration authority) you can change standard issue number-plates for another standard set with a different registration number by taking the old plates to a VicRoads office, proving your identity, paying the fee and handing in the old plates. As well as new number-plates, you’ll also be given a new registration certificate reflecting the new rego number. This is also the process to follow if your number-plates have been lost, stolen or damaged.

    If it’s custom or personalised number-plates you want, VicRoads has a huge range of options and prices available. Check out the vicroads.vic.gov.au website for the full details.
