FAQ

Are there any annual fees or hidden costs?

Personalised plates incur no annual fees or hidden costs. In some other states of Australia plates attract an annual fee, but in Queensland once you have purchased your personalised plates, that unique combination is yours forever – unless of course you want to sell them. Personalised plates are exempt from GST and there are no additional fees when attaching to a vehicle.

Are the plates mine for life? How do I transfer ownership?

Your personalised plates are yours for life. Should you ever wish to transfer the ownership of your plates, you and the acquirer will need to complete a Transfer of Ownership Form and pay a modest fee, at your nearest Queensland Transport Customer Service Centre.

I don’t own a car, or have moved to Queensland from interstate, so can I still own a plate?

Any person or company with a Queensland CRN can own personalised plates regardless of whether or not they own a car or live in Queensland. Owning personalised plates gives you the "right to display" that particular combination on a Queensland registered vehicle, however many people purchase numerous sets of plates without ever attaching them to a vehicle.

How do I attach my new plates to my car, and what do I do with my old plates? Can my plates be attached to someone else's vehicle?

A Remove and/or Attach Form must be completed and handed in at your nearest Queensland Transport Customer Service Centre, along with the standard issue plates currently on your car. This must be done before you attach your new plates to your vehicle. You may also wish to contact your insurance/roadside assistance/e-tag companies to inform them of your new plates.
The ownership details of your personalised plates need not match the registration details of the vehicle, provided both parties have authorised the attachment.
