The NHVR processes permit renewals for all permit types issued by the NHVR. For all other permit renewals (including any travel within the Northern Territory and Western Australia), you will need to apply directly to the relevant state or territory road transport authority.

• If your original permit was issued by a state or territory road transport authority and it is for a permit type now issued by the NHVR, you are eligible to renew your current permit through the NHVR.
• Renewal applications can be submitted for current permits and should be submitted no earlier than 6 weeks and no later than 16 days before the permit expires.
• Renewal applications submitted earlier than 6 weeks before permit expiry may not be processed.

To assist you in managing expiring permits, the Portal will now email a reminder notification 6 weeks prior to the expiry date and then a final reminder 24 hours beforehand. If the permit has expired and travel is still required, a new application must be submitted.
