You must not drive an unregistered vehicle on the road unless you have an unregistered vehicle permit (UVP), which can be purchased from any ACT Government Shopfront.

The permit is issued to enable a vehicle to be repaired prior to registration or to be moved from one site to another.

The permit is necessary to cover registration and third party insurance for the vehicle while it is being used on the road.

To obtain a UVP you need to provide the following at a minimum:

• Proof of identity 
• Registration number of vehicle if available
• Make and model of vehicle
• Type of vehicle
• Colour 1
• Month and year of manufacture
• Engine number, except for trailers
• GVM for trucks
• Engine capacity for motobikes
• A vehicle inspection report for UVPs exceeding one day's duration where the vehicle could not be registered without an inspection being conducted
• Vehicle identification number if the vehicle was manufactured 1989 onwards
• Chassis number if manufactured up to 1989

Customers may provide an interstate inspection report, provided it meets at least the minimum roadworthy requirements.
