W.A.P-Things to consider:• Workshop application downloaded directly from

the website • ASIC Details need to match WAP. • The spelling of names on the WAP. For

example if Michael is shortened to Mike, the system will reject the form as it is not exactly the same name as on the workshop application.

• File name lengths (Not the Doc Reference Number). ie “Workshop Application submitted 01_03_2004 – version_1.0”

Things to consider

IAP–What is it?

The import and plate e-form has a dual role.

1) It serves as an e-form to apply for an Import Approval to bring in a vehicle from overseas.

2) It serves as an e-form to plate a transitional or sample vehicle.

IAP–How to…

• Find the import plate application in your template folder on your computer (usually “C” Drive).

• Complete the form – In capital letters.

• Click the submit button on the bottom of the page.

IAP-Additional Information

• The import only – is for sample vehicles only. Subsequent import vehicles need to be “Import and plate”

• Transitional vehicles do not require a RAWS Import Approval – as they already have one from the Low Volume Scheme.

IAP–tracking the form on-line

• “Fee Pending”

• “Validate”

• “IVAS Pending”

• “VIC Pending”

IAP-Things to consider

• Vehicle details must match the S.E.V’s Ruling exactly i.e. variant details.

• The VIN decodes to the correct month/year.

• Match sure the VIN contains no slashes or dashes i.e. submit VIN ECR3312345. VIN Should not read ECR33-12345.

• The 6U9000 prefix should only be used on plate applications.
