Buying a WA-licensed vehicle
Eligible buyers can use DoTDirect with the plate, sale details and seller information. Some transfers require the MR9 form or another process; read the official exceptions first.
- Keep the purchase details and seller's information.
- Check arrangements for optional plates.
- Confirm which buyer and seller steps remain.
Renewing the licence
Transport WA lists Payment Lookup, DoTDirect and other payment channels. Motor Injury Insurance is included with the vehicle licence. Vehicles subject to annual inspection need the required inspection before renewal.
- Read the renewal notice.
- Use the payment reference for this vehicle.
- Save the receipt and any inspection paperwork.
An interstate vehicle is a different task
A vehicle coming from another state follows WA licensing and inspection requirements rather than the ordinary transfer of an existing WA licence. Check the official buyer guidance before arranging transport.
