When do I need to apply for a BRNC?
- Only when you register a vehicle in your business name for the first time
Without a BRN-Certificate, your vehicle cannot be registered in the business name. This certificate is only applicable for businesses with CK1 or CK2 CIPRO documents. CK1 document refers to businesses with the “Pty (Ltd)” description in the business name. CK2 document refers to businesses with a “CC” description in the business name.
If your business classifies as one of the following, you do not need a BRN-Certificate, but rather a Traffic Register Number (TRN). Traffic Register Numbers are explained on this page.
