Once you move to the Northern Territory, you have three months to change your licence over and register your vehicle with the Motor Vehicle Registry (MVR). This is required if you have a car, motorcycle, trailer, caravan or motorhome.
Find out more about the cost and how to register your vehicle on the driving and transport website.
As part of your registration fee in the Northern Territory, we have compulsory motor accidents compensation (MAC) insurance cover. You can read more about compulsory third-party insurance.
When registering your vehicle in the Territory, you can renew your registration for one, three, six or 12 months through the MVR Quickpay website. Depending on your vehicle, you can also look at the breakdown of registration fees for your vehicle type.
You will need to transfer your interstate driver’s licence to an NT licence within 3 months of becoming a resident. You can transfer a current interstate licence at no cost, provided you meet the requirements.
