Buyer's Checklist
- Is the current registration certificate is in the seller’s name? (although this is not proof of ownership)
- Does the seller’s name on the transfer application form match the name on the current registration certificate?
- Check the Queensland safety certificate or certificate of inspection (COI) has not expired. (Private Sale 2 months or 2000kms/Dealer Sale 3 months or 1000kms, whichever one comes first)
- The Queensland safety certificate or certificate of inspection is displayed on the vehicle. (Paper copy only)
- The vehicle has been inspected by an independent mechanic or undergone a pre -purchase inspection.
- If the vehicle runs on gas or is fitted with gas appliances, fittings or systems the vehicle may require a gas certificate. It is the responsibility of the seller to provide you with this. The certificate cannot not be more than 3 months old and must be from an authorised gas installer.
- Both the buyer and seller have filled out all sections of the Transfer of Vehicle Registration Application (form F3520).
- You (the buyer) must lodge Part A (Transfer Application) of the Transfer of Vehicle Registration Application form at customer service centre within 14 days of purchase.
- You should use the search function on the Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) to make sure that the vehicle you are buying does not have a security interest over it. For example, if you buy a vehicle that still has money owing on it, the vehicle could be repossessed by the person who lent money against it. A PPSR search will also advise whether the vehicle has been reported as stolen or written-off.
Note: If you buy a vehicle from a motor dealer, they must supply a vehicle search certificate from the PPSR.
