Concessional registration was created for historic vehicles, and includes cars, trucks, motorcycles, buses, tractors, trailers, semi-trailers and caravans.  To be an approved Code 404 registered club’ it must have at least 30 financial members and is formed to preserve and restore historic vehicles.

​

The DoT (Department of Transport) issues a permit for registration on the basis of information provided by approved motoring clubs such as the VOCA and/or the CMC (Council of Motoring Clubs), and the onus on complying with the scheme is the responsibility of the owner.

The scheme for concessional License under Code 404.

​

Historic vehicles must be 25 years or older without modifications. Exceptions are for manufacturer’s options and safety enhancements such as seatbelts and turn indicators.

​

Owners must belong to an CMC-recognised historic vehicle club as published on the CMC website. You must be a financial and current member of VOCA to obtain concessional registration.  This status must be current to maintain the Code 404 concession.

​

Your registration is a contract between you and the DoT. VOCA merely confirms your membership status and the historic eligibility of your vehicle. If there is a breach of the rules, you will be responsible. If you are tempted to submit bogus forms or misinformation be warned that you can be charged for making false declaration to a public official.
