Renew your vehicle registration

On this page

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

    What you'll need

    To renew the right rego online, you'll need to enter either your:

    • vehicle's plate number and
    • licence or client number

    or

    • the payment number on your renewal notice.

    You'll be able to download the receipt or have it sent to your email.

    Fees

    Go to vehicle registration fees.

    Renew early

    • Registration is valid until midnight of the expiry date.
    • Registration paid before the expiry date, will start the day after the existing expiry date.

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

    Renew 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 $22 will apply. This fee will automatically apply if the vehicle has been unregistered for more than 90 days.

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

    Example: if your rego was due on 26 May, but you let it expire and renew it on 26 June - we'd recommend you re-register it.

    This means if you chose re-register and 3 months, your new expiry date would change to 26 September (instead of 26 August).

    Renew with concession

    If your concession is:
