Renew your vehicle registration

Renew the rego for your car, caravan, motorbike or trailer for 3 or 12 months.

Renew online

To renew the right rego, you'll need your:

  • vehicle's plate number
  • licence or client number

or

  • payment number from your paper or digital renewal notice.

When you renew online, you can download the receipt or have it sent to a nominated email address.

Other ways to renew

Cost

Find out what it costs, see vehicle registration fees.

Renewing early

Registration is valid until midnight of the expiry date.

For example - if your rego is due on 26 June, you can drive your vehicle until midnight (11:59 pm) on 26 June.

Registration paid before the expiry date, will start the day after the existing expiry date.

Renewing late

You can still renew your expired registration online.

You'll be given 2 options:

  1. Renew - your new rego period would start from your last expiry date. You'll pay the same amount on your renewal notice.
  2. Re-register -  your new rego period would start from the day you pay it. An additional $21 will apply. This fee will automatically apply if the vehicle has been unregistered for more than 90 days.

For example - If your rego is due on 26 June, and you renew it on 26 July, we'd recommend you re-register it. This changes your new expiry date from 26 September to 26 October.

Whether you renew or re-register, the vehicle is still unregistered for the period between the last expiry date and the time of payment.

Renewing with concession

If you're eligible for a concession on your registration, and it hasn't been applied to your renewal notice, see concessions for your registration and driver's licence for how to apply.

If your concession has already been applied to your renewal notice, this will be validated during the renewal process.
