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.

If the permit has expired, a new application must be submitted.

Renewal applications can be submitted for current permits and should be submitted no earlier than 6 weeks before the permit expires. Renewal applications submitted earlier than 6 weeks before permit expiry may not be processed.

Did you know you can take advantage of NHVR’s expedited renewals process if you plan ahead?

Locate the existing permit

  • If your permit was issued after 25th September 2017, it will be visible in the Permit Library.
  • If your permit was issued before 25th September 2017, use the Application Tracker to renew your permit.

It is quicker to amend your permit directly from Application tracker as it will automatically find and match permits based on the Permit ID number.
