C. Vehicles with Compliance Plate discrepancies

A previously registered vehicle (second hand vehicle) where the chassis/VIN number stamped on the
body does not match the chassis/VIN number on the compliance plate, may be registered at any motor
registry where:
• the vehicle is known to have been manufactured in Australia and known to be of a model that
complies with the Australian Design Rules,
• satisfactory evidence is provided as to the previous registration of the vehicle and
• the vehicle is roadworthy (this may require the presentation of an engineers certificate where
the vehicle had been modified).
Note: Where the chassis/VIN number stamped on the body is the same as shown on the vehicles’ registration documents, but is different to the number shown on the compliance plate, the vehicle will be considered as a vehicle without a compliance plate and the owner will be directed by an Authorised Officer of the RTA to stamp a line on the differing number on the compliance plate.

Alternatively, where the chassis/VIN number on the compliance plate is the same as the number
indicated on the vehicle registration documents, but different to the number stamped on the
body, the owner will be advised by an Authorised Officer of the RTA to provide evidences as to
the origin of the number on the body. Where satisfactory evidence has been provided (i.e. sales
receipts, repair invoices, etc.) and the body is found to comply with all the relevant ADR’s
applicable to the vehicle (this requires the presentation of an engineers certificate), the owner
will be directed to stamp a line on the differing number, and the chassis/VIN number (shown on
the compliance plate and registration documents) stamped as close as possible to the location
specified by the vehicle manufacturer.


***So if you have the books does this mean you can restamp the chassis with the original number under the direction of the RTA?***
