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.

RAV submissions using a CSV file

 

From 1 July 2025, submissions to the Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) using previous versions of the CSV RAV submission template will fail.

 

You will need to use the updated RAV submission template-CSV–2025, which includes columns for motive power and the New Vehicle Efficiency Standard fields, even if you are not providing this information. 

 

Refer to the Guide to the Register of Approved Vehicles for more information on how to submit vehicles to the RAV.
