Thread: NSW Rego with no proof of ownership

Yes it's just a piece of paper that they have to have, nobody will ever check it's legit or that the "person" that signed it actually ever owned the vehicle in question.

Pretty much describes all bureaucracy.

That's it. They've done their bit. Mind you, I suppose there also isn't much more they can do.

It leaves a paper trail that could bring the forger unstuck, at a later time, should it turn out the vehicle had been previously stolen.

In Vic I only had a handwritten receipt on a torn off scrap of paper for my '73 Lightweight, no import papers , was not on govt records , and its previous rego plates belonged to a Red 1954 series1 in QLD , (explains why they painted the LWT red) , still managed to get rego , just had to get engineering compliance and a waiver from dept of infrastructure.

When I got the '52 Power Wagon registered I gave them a photo of a Snowy Hydro scheme Power Wagon with commonwealth plates as "Proof" it has been registered in Australia and an emailed receipt which I could have written myself. I already had an engineering cert though for my mods rather than for compliance.

This is pretty much what I am about to go through soon in registering my 1963 Forward Control project. I know it is ex PMG and have photos of a similar FC in PMG livery, with the same tray modifications for the scaffolding they carried to access the pole top furniture. This is my only available proof of previous Australian registration... And a typed purchase receipt from the guy I bought it off as a complete wreck.

Has your PMG photo got the rego number , I was lucky enough to get the old SMA Commonwelth rego number from the old photo as custom plates , maybe that convinced them it was the same truck .
