Transferring registration from another state or territory
If you and your vehicle move to Queensland, the vehicle must be registered in Queensland within 14 days of your move and establishment of your new garage address. If you fail to re-register your vehicle in Queensland, you may be fined.
Information about registering an interstate vehicle in Queensland can be found at registering motor vehicles and motorbikes.
When you re-register in Queensland, you can apply for a refund of the unexpired portion of your interstate registration by destroying your windscreen label and handing in your interstate registration number plate(s) to a Department of Transport and Main Roads customer service centre. You will be issued a receipt. If the interstate plates are not surrendered to the department, you will be required to surrender the plates to the interstate authority
Note: The registered operator of an interstate vehicle is responsible for contacting the relevant interstate authority for any refund and cancellation requirements as the requirements may vary from state to state. A copy of the receipt for the plate(s) will be required.
