Tara Police Station

Most counter services accept walk-ins, but inspections and practical tests are by appointment where offered. Call (07) 4665 3200 or the TMR line on 13 23 80 to confirm before travelling, especially in regional areas.

Bring photo ID for anything licence-related, your renewal notice or plate number for rego payments, and for a transfer the signed paperwork plus safety certificate. Card is accepted at most counters; a small surcharge applies to card payments.

Very likely. Rego checks, renewals, payments, many transfers and cancellations are all available through TMR online services. In-person visits are mainly needed for inspections, licence photos and paperwork that must be sighted.
