Not putting a vehicle in your name?

[Berg]

Apply to the transport registry center in Palmy North for confidential reg status. You have to have a valid reason (not having a licence etc is not a valid reason) but it's easier than the hassle of registering it in somebody elses name. I have a reason and all my vehicles are on confidential status

[racefactory]

False address, mailing address to a PO Box. It's what I've done for the last decade or so.

I will see just how confidential this new opt out thing is, otherwise I'll do the same.

[HenryDorsetCase]

apart from it being fraud?

so anyone who has a vehicle registered to their company commits fraud?

yeah, right.

[BMWST?]

you are joking...they dont give a toss about the status of the license of the person who owns the bike....Just the status of the license of the person who is riding it...

the downsides of having a vehicle registred in someone elses name...i hope they are trustworthy...

[BMWST?]

so anyone who has a vehicle registered to their company commits fraud?

yeah, right.

no because the company does own said vehicle right?

There is no longer any relationship between the "registered owner" and the actual person who holds title to the vehicle.

The registered owner is the person responsible for the payment of licence fees, infringements and tolls.

Confidential status is seldom offered unless you can prove a real threat to your safety. You wont get it because you want to be "private" or because you think a criminal may steal your Harley.

You have to show a bill or receipt to establish your address when you update your drivers licence. But 5 minutes later you can go back on line and change it to anything you wish.

The motor vehicle register is also shared with the electoral office who cross match with the electoral roll.

You can get away with using your employer's address. Just use your correct name so that you can be contacted by mail and the "authorities" can find you using other records.

So long as they know who you are and there is a way to contact you they don't mind too much. That's what the cops do with their private vehicles. If it's good enough for them, then it's good enough for everybody else.

I now someone who used to use the address of their local Police station as the registered address.

I dont think "registered owner" has ever meant/proved legal ownership but this seems to be what everybody beleives.I guess for thsoe who buy from a dealer the agreement of sale is actually proof of ownership.

yeah, right.

I see nothing in the OP that mentions putting it in a company's name. To do this you need an LTSA number, gained by providing them with your companies certification. That would not be fraud.

Pick up yer game HDC you are a much better troll than that.

[Max Preload]

Not necessarily. Registered owner and legal owner are not the same thing. Lease vehicles are registered in the leasee's name but they're owned by the leassor.

Edit: Oops, should have checked the second page first as I see it's been covered that registered owner and legal title are not the same thing.

If that's the case then from a personal standing, there are no disadvantages to avoid putting the vehicle into your name? When getting pulled over can you be done in for this or is there always a catch 22 that can be played?

[hellokitty]

Put it in Cat's name.

Hey! Thats what my husband did - but I changed it back to his name! He got sick of people saying he didn't look like a woman called Cat.
