COMPANY OR INCORPORATED BODIES
PROOF OF IDENTITY REQUIREMENTS
Section 8 of the Road Safety Act 1986, requires a vehicle to be
registered, without exempt/on, in the name of a person or an incorporated
body. This requirement applies to the registration of vehicles and
the transfer of registration.
An incorporated body can be either:
· A company registered under the Corporations Law. These
bodies have an Australian Company Number (ACN).
· A body incorporated under an Act. [eg. bodies incorporated
under the Associations Incorporation Act 1981, Co. co-operation Act
1981, etc]. These bodies may, but not necessarily, have an ACN.
(Both the above types of incorporated body must provide a copy
of the Certificate of Incorporation before a vehicle can be registered
in the name of the incorporated body).
· A body incorporated by an Act of Parliament, where a body
is declared to be a body corporate under an Act. [An example of
this type of incorporated body is the Roads Corporation, which is
declared to be a body corporate under section 27 of the Transport
Act 1983.]
(A copy of the relevant section of the Act declaring the body corporate
is sufficient proof).
· A body established as a body corporate by Royal Charter.
(A copy of the Royal Charter document is sufficient proof of incorporation).
