    Default Bought a trailer it has no vin help

    Hi fellas
    I bought a used trailer that has no rego
    Has had no rego for 2 yrs as the guy I bought it off never renewed it
    I got the last rego papers he received and it has a number plate
    I fixed it up ready for a blue slip took it to the auto mechanic only to find it has no compliance plate or vin stamped into the chassis (which I didn't think to check apron purchase )
    So the mechanics told me I have to apply for a new vin which could take weeks
    So I left thinking maybe I could just buy a compliance plate off eBay and stamp the info and vin on it that is on the rego papers
    What do you think ??


    The plate and vin does not come up stolen with rms as I checked afterwards
    ....Nothing like a good whipper....

    The last new trailer I registered (in QLD) I just took an Application for a VIN to the Transport Dept. They gave me (Fee payable) a blank compliance plate and VIN straight away.


    You could do it with the details on the rego papers, but if anything is not quite legit, it could get messy.
    Probably less complicated to start fresh with a new VIN & compliance plate.

    Went down to RMS filled out the forms for a new vin
    2 weeks later I now have a vin number, off to get a blue slip next week hopefully that goes smoothly
