Wide load application process

Do I need a police escort for my planned travel?

If you already have an Excess Dimension Permit from the NHVR, you can check the ‘Specific Conditions of Travel’.

If this specifies any police escorts for any part of the trip, you need to submit an application.

If there is no specification, you do not have a permit, or you are unsure about policing requirements, feel free to contact us via the contact details on the right.

Applying for an escort is a straightforward process, if all the information is received in time. 

If you want to apply for a police wide-load escort, you need to include:

• An issued, valid copy of your NHVR permit
• Any required third party approvals
• Any additional requirements.

When applying online, you acknowledge and agree to the following:

• The NHVR permit must be attached when you submit your application
• If you do not attach a permit, your application will be rejected. 

You should include your third-party approvals if you have them.

Submit each application separately, unless it is a convoy/multiple loads movement.

By submitting online you agree to the schedule of fees outlined in the QPS Schedule of Fees and Charges​.

Please read this quick guide before applying – it will help minimise problems.

Note: You need to include additional approvals with your application; see Third Party Approvals for details.
