How To Get A Temporary Movement Permit In Western Australia?

Although it’s illegal to drive an unregistered car in Western Australia, there are a few exceptions when you obtain the right permit. The 2 main permits that would allow you to drive an unlicensed car in Western Australia are the Temporary Movement Permit (TMP) and the Unlicensed Vehicle Permit (UVP). Of course, they are only issued under certain circumstances, which we will have a look at shortly. Of course, if you are thinking of selling your unlicensed vehicle, there’s no quicker way than with genuine Cash For Cars companies like Premier Metals Perth who also provides Free Car Removals with every purchase they make.

Temporary Movement Permits

The Department of Transport states that a Temporary Movement Permit ‘allows you to move an unlicensed vehicle to be inspected for the purposes of licensing or repairs prior to licensing’. Temporary Movement Permits last only 48 hours.

It is a Motor Injury Insurance Policy allowing the movement of unlicensed vehicles for certain purposes including (but not limited to):

• An agricultural vehicle to a farm or property and to remain on that property.
• An agricultural vehicle to or from the nearest place where repairs to the vehicle may be made
• A vehicle such as a tractor for display, demonstration at an agricultural or industrial field day
• A vehicle to the place of repair with the intention of licensing there
• Road testing of vehicles limited to licensed repairers
• Road testing of vehicles by licensed examiners
• A vehicle to an approved inspect station for inspection Temporary Movement Permits cannot be issued for:
• An unlicensed vehicle being moved for its parts or wrecking
• Caravans or trailers being move from site to site

Unlicensed Vehicle Permits

Unlike a Temporary Movement Permit, Unlicensed Vehicle Permits are valid anywhere from 60 hours to 12 months.

They can be issued for:

• A vehicle to be entered in a rally
• A rally support vehicle
• A motorcycle that will be entered in an enduro event
• Over dimensional or oversized vehicles and equipment used for agricultural, industrial or mining industries that aren’t eligible for a Class B definition
• Vehicles that are overweight on axles and not eligible to be defined as Class C
• Vehicles designed primarily for recreation or sporting related purposes
• Vehicles that don’t comply with standard vehicle licensing

You can apply for an unlicensed vehicle permit by lodging your application to the Department of Transport, Vehicle Safety and Standards at least 14 days before the permit is required.
