Welcome to ROVER

ROVER is an administration system for the Road Vehicle Standards (RVS) legislation.

This legislation replaces the Motor Vehicle Standards Act 1989.

ROVER provides a single integrated system for all approvals and activities under the RVS legislation, allowing you to:

Submit and pay for an application
Monitor the progress of your application
Receive and respond to requests for information regarding your application
Be notified of the decision outcome of your application.

Decommissioning of original RAV site and XML generator tool.

From Monday 20 January 2025, you will no longer be able to access the original Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) public search site or XML generator tool.

Please note that you can still submit XML files as RAV submissions—this has not changed. However, if you currently use the XML generator tool for RAV submissions, you can complete the form in ROVER instead. Read the instructions in the Guide to the Register of Approved Vehicles.

To search for vehicles on the RAV, please visit the RAV public search site that was launched earlier this year.
