Apply for a Dealer Vehicle Registration Scheme (DVRS) agreement

Introduction

As a licensed motor dealer, if you want authorisation to register vehicles, transfer and renew vehicle registrations and order number plates, you'll need to apply for a dealer agreement under the Dealer Vehicle Registration Scheme (DVRS). You can do this at a Service NSW Centre.
