� WAT Licence Holders must contact the VTD 3-5 business days before their registration<br />
appointment and obtain an “authority to register” to enable the registration process to<br />
occur.<br />
Licence Holders need to have the following items when presenting vehicles for registration as<br />
a taxi:<br />
� proof of identity (driver’s licence)<br />
� proof of ownership of the vehicle (for example, receipt, bill of sale, registration<br />
certificate)<br />
� a current roadworthy certificate from a Licensed <strong>Taxi</strong> Tester<br />
� a public weigh bridge certificate confirming the vehicle's tare mass after all taxi and<br />
wheelchair equipment has been installed into the vehicle. The tare mass listed on the<br />
weigh bridge certificate should not be greater than that listed on the VASS approval<br />
certificate<br />
NOTE: the tare mass of a vehicle is the mass of the vehicle ready for use, unoccupied<br />
and unladen, with all standard equipment and options fitted (this includes items such<br />
as gas tank, hoist, ramp etc), with all fluid reservoirs filled to nominal capacity and 10<br />
litres of fuel<br />
� proof of previous registration for any second hand vehicle<br />
� evidence of compliance with Australian Design Rules (ADR’s), if the vehicle:<br />
- is imported<br />
- does not have a compliance plate attached and there is no proof of previous<br />
registration in Australia, or<br />
- has been mechanically or structurally modified, including conversions to<br />
accommodate wheelchairs.<br />
Evidence must be in the form of a VASS certificate from an authorised person to<br />
ensure all work, including any modification, has been correctly carried out and to<br />
certify that the vehicle continues to comply with the applicable standards. A list of<br />
VASS signatories can be obtained from VicRoads (Tel: 03 9854 2666) or from the<br />
VicRoads website at: www.vicroads.vic.gov.au<br />
Vehicles must be registered in the name of the licence holder being an individual name or an<br />
Incorporated Body. If the vehicle is to be registered in the name of an Incorporated Body, a<br />
letter signed by the Director/s on company letterhead authorising vehicle registration (include<br />
vehicle details such as engine number, make/model) and a certificate of Incorporation is<br />
required.<br />
If a person other than the licence holder is to register the vehicle, authorisation in writing is<br />
required from the licence holder. This authorisation letter should include the name and<br />
address and driver licence number of the agent together with the registration number (if<br />
known) and other vehicle details of the vehicle presented for registration.<br />
