Organise a vehicle inspection by an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station (AUVIS) to get an Inspection Report (Blue Slip) and a Compliance Certificate if necessary. The Examiner also needs to sign the Vehicle Identification section on page 3 of the 1246 Form.

Remember to request a Log Book to get 60 days of use in addition to club days. The Log Book must be filled in each time before the vehicle goes on the road or it is not registered. However, NO log book entry is required on club days. Other drivers can use your vehicle but must be recorded in the Log Book each day of use.
A Certificate of Approved Operations will be issued with number plates. It details the conditions applicable to the operation of the vehicle and must be carried in the vehicle whenever the vehicle is used on a road or road related area. It also indicates if the Log Book system applies.

If the vehicle passes inspection the Examiner will stamp the Form.
Mail the original stamped Classic Vehicle Declaration, completed Check list of Requirements of the Classic Vehicle Scheme and a copy of a Safety Check Report to the CMC at the address listed previously and pay the fee of $30 as described before. They will record details and return the documents to you. Should you wish firther explanation of the current requirements, please refer to the Changes to the Classic Vehicle Scheme Registration Process dated 10th October 2022.

Registration is a matter between the owner who is the registered operator, the CMC and the RMS. PMEA accepts no responsibility for vehicle registration except to validate current financial membership.
If the operator changes clubs during the currency of the Conditional Registration, a Classic Vehicle Declaration proving vehicle and operator eligibility for the new club is required.
Important: The Classic Vehicle Declaration must be completed entirely and stamped by the Approved Organisation and the Primary Club
