obtaining conditional registration

If a vehicle qualifies for registration in the Conditional Registration Scheme an Authorised Person from the Club will issue an Approval for Conditional Registration of a Historic Vehicle, Prescribed Left Hand Drive Vehicle and Street Rod Vehicle MR334 form, which can be taken to a Department of Planning, Transport and Infrastructure Customer Service Centre to obtain a Certificate of Registration.
The certificate of Registration must be presented to the Club's Authorised Person/s from the Club that initially completed the MR334 form, prior to an approved Log Book being issued. The Authorised Person must record the following details on the back of the Certificate of Registration: the serial number of the Log Book, the date of issue, Club stamp and signature.
It is a requirement of the Conditional Registration Scheme that the owner/s of a vehicle must be current financial members of a recognised motor vehicle club such as Citroen Societe South Australia Inc. before a Log Book is issued.
A person is not permitted to have Log Book for a vehicle issued by more than one recognised motor vehicle club.
