Club Permits
If you own a bike at least 25 years old and are a member of a recognised Club, which we are, and your bike passes a roadworthy, then you are eligible by Victorian law to register your bike under the Club Permit Scheme.
The conditions of use for a Club Permitted bike are primarily:
- The bike may be used at any time.
- But limited to either 45 or 90 days' riding (depending on the permit).
- You must keep a log book of riding days and carry it with you.
To get your Club Permit follow these steps:
1) Bike or Car needs to be over 25 years old as per VIN and as to the month, not only year.
2) Be a financial member of the DOCV.
3) Complete details in this link: https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/limited-use-permits/club-permit-scheme/get-a-club-permit
i) obtain a Roadworthy Certificate
ii) Fill out the Club Application form and Vehicle Eligibility Forms (obtained on Vicroads website)
iii) Send RWC and 2 VicRoads forms to PO Box 16 Box Hill, 3128 with a self addressed envelope to send back.
iv) Send 3 pictures of the bike (engine number, VIN chassis, bike photo) either in the paperwork sent to the PO box or email then to clubpermit@docv.org
v) Attend a club meeting or arrange to meet the Club Permit officer if urgent.
vi) Once all forms are signed and returned, take to VicRoads who will issue Club plates (around $90/year for 45 days) and off you go. :)
Note: If you bike is currently registered then you have to cancel the registration. This can be done on your MyVicroads account, or at a Vicroads office.
The bike registration will be automatically cancelled after three months if it is not renewed.
You might like to take your number plates to Vicroads with your documents - so Vicroads can destroy them. If you keep the plates, make sure they aren't stolen as any
subsequent fines will be on you!
Mail is only collected about every 10 days (RWC is valid for 1 month). If you are cutting it fine with dates please contact the Club Permit officer to make sure you don't run out of time with the RWC, clubpermit@docv.org
If your bike is already registered, you will need to unregister first to register as a Club Permit bike.
If the bike is an import (non compliance plate) and hasn't been registered in Australia before or is modified you may require a VASS certificate to put on Club Registration.
