Well I've finally handed in the resignation at work and am hopefully moving on to bigger and better things in the Capital of OZ.

What I'm wondering though, the contract I'm on is only garanteed for six months. Not too much of a problem until I actually move residence to Duffy. I've looked at some 'Moving to Canberra' brochures and it says that I have to change my license and car rego to the ACT.

Went to the Urban services page and it says I can exchange my NSW license for an ACT one, but whats got me worried is the rego on the car.

It doesnt mention there anywhere about private plates.

Can anyone tell me what to expect, charges due, can I get a refund from NSW for remaining 6 months of rego etc? I'm hoping the $400 premium I'm paying for my beloved plates goes down a bit as well.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh crap property prices plummet again, first Cro now you... :lol:

You will be presently suprised with plate prices in the ACT, cheap and only once off no extra anual fee's.

The only ones that are expensive are the 'make' ones like FORD or BMW they are $5500. the rest are ok.

Meh, just keep your NSW rego.

You won't need a pink slip till your car is over 3yrs old (I think?)

And when that time comes just go over to Queenbyan to get a pink slip.

I wouldn't worry about your license either.

I've been in QLD 3 yrs, been pulled over many times with my NSW license (And rego) without a problem.

If you really want to go by the book, wait till your NSW rego is up, then change it to ACT rego.

Looks like the 'make' plates have come down a few gorillas, still not tempted though...

Do you still have a NSW address to use? Parents? Brother? Just keep ANY NSW address on your rego and licence and save yourself some money until you are sure you're going to be permanent in the ACT.
