dankman Member 270 Member For: 21y 10m 12d Location: zadank village Canberra Posted 28/01/05 10:11 AM Share Posted 28/01/05 10:11 AM 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.

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.

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.
