Club Permit Scheme

The Mercedes-Benz Club of Victoria (MBCV) has been authorized by VicRoads to operate the Club Permit Scheme (CPS) for veteran, classic, historic and street rod vehicles.

Before you start:

  • Applicants must apply and be accepted and have received their membership number of the MBCV before they can apply to participate in the CPS. Please take this into consideration before obtaining the required Roadworthy Certificate as these only have a 30 day validity and will not be accepted by VicRoads if expired.

You must also refer to the VicRoads website for more information about CPS

  • Members must allow sufficient time for application forms to be processed by the CPS Officer. Please email the CPS officer (cps@mbcv.org.au) if you have any queries.
  • Once the signed VicRoads forms are returned to the member, the member then submits these with the RWC and the relevant fee to VicRoads for the club permit to be issued. To get what you need for your VicRoads visit, go to the VicRoads CPS webpage, then click on Get a Club Permit and then Step 5: Submit the application.

How to obtain your refund

We do not know what Permit No you will be issued by Vic Roads.

You have to tell us. Please advise the CPS Officer of this number ASAP.

  • The TryBooking $100 deposit is fully refunded after the CPS officer is advised of your assigned CPS permit number. The Club will process refund(s) as soon as practical after being advised of your CPS permit number. The $100 deposit is forfeited if you do not advise the Club of your permit number within THREE months.
  • It is the responsibility of the member to advise the Club Registrar (registrar@mbcv.org.au) of any future changes to that permit number.
