The paperwork, the rules, and the money sellers leave behind

Selling a car in NSW involves three bits of paperwork: the notice of disposal (lodged within 14 days of sale), registration cancellation if you want a rego refund, and the write-off rules that decide whether a damaged car can ever be re-registered. Each guide below answers one of those questions step by step, with the exact Service NSW rules and timeframes.

No jargon, no runaround. These are the guides we wish every seller read before the tow truck arrives, written the way we'd explain it at your kerb.
