What is proof of entitlement?

Proof of entitlement is evidence to show that you are entitled to become a registered operator of a vehicle.

What can be used to show proof of entitlement?

The document you use must identify the last registered operator of the vehicle.

These may be:

• a signed bill of sale from a dealer
  • that shows that full responsibility for the vehicle has changed to the new operator
• a signed receipt from a dealer
  • that shows that full responsibility for the vehicle has changed to the new operator
• a signed receipt from the previous registered operator
• copy of a will, or a letter from a solicitor, Public Trustee or executor of the estate showing that the vehicle has been left to the client
• order from the Family Law Court that specifies the vehicle and the new operator
• authority from the registered operator to the finance company
  • if the vehicle has been repossessed (A letter from State Revenue for an exemption of Stamp Duty may also be required)
