You will need a valid Australian issued driver’s licence and (not required but helpful) a couple of other bits to confirm identity, as your NSW RMS ID will be with your Queensland address. If you’re picking up the car in Sydney I suggest the Macquarie Park Service NSW branch. It’s a convenient one for access to/from by public transport in most directions.
They are a bit quartermaster-ish with permit durations now in NSW, I suggest attaching a document as annexure, which thoroughly maps your intended journey and stops. Even add a couple of “rest days” at overnight stops. That way, any niggles are able to be dealt with inside the issued permit’s timeframe - you can always drive ahead of schedule if all is good.
Make sure the sticker isn’t hidden by the tint band, also keep the paperwork either clipped to the dash or on top of everything else in the glovebox.

Awesome, thanks for this. So let's assume I have the Customer Number, when I apply for the UVP, I should detail the exact route I will take - will stop in Northern Beaches for the night and leave fresh the next morning and possibly stop overnight at Coffs or Grafton if I get tired. Will probably also nominate that on arrival in Qld I'll go straight to get a RWC then go straight home.
Upon applying for the UVP, is it handed over from the counter straight away and you just display the sticker and paperwork?
