234J. Registration and renewal of registration of written-off vehicles



(1) The Corporation may register a vehicle to which section 16F(3) or (4) of
the Act applies only if¾

   (a)  the Corporation has been provided with a certificate issued not more
        than 3 months before date of the application for registration by a
        person the Corporation considers qualified to issue it, certifying
        that-

   (i)  the vehicle is the original vehicle to which the relevant vehicle
        identifier was assigned; and

   (ii) the damage or condition, or the damaged part or component, that is
        recorded on the register of written-off vehicles as the cause for the
        vehicle being written off has been repaired, restored or replaced; and

   (b)  the other requirements of these Regulations for registration are
        satisfied.

Note Vehicles to which section 16F(3) and (4) of the Act apply are vehicles
that have the same vehicle identifier as a vehicle entered on the register of
written-off vehicles (or an equivalent interstate register) as a repairable
write-off. A vehicle that has the same vehicle identifier as a statutory
write-off cannot be registered-see section 16F(1) and (2) of the Act.

(2) A person must not issue a certificate for the purposes of subregulation
(1)(a) unless the vehicle has been inspected by, or under the supervision of,
the person in accordance with any instructions issued by the Corporation for
the inspection of written-off vehicles.

(3) The registration of a vehicle under subregulation (1) may be renewed in
accordance with Division 5.
