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 from 1 July 2025

From 1 July 2025, submissions to the Register of Approved Vehicles (RAV) must include fields for motive power and New Vehicle Efficiency Standard data, even if you aren’t providing information in these fields.

For CSV files, you will need to use the updated RAV submission template-CSV–2025, as submissions that use a previous version of the template will fail.

You will also need to add lines for these fields if you’re submitting RAV entries in an XML file, as seen in this XML example.

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