If you buy a car in Australia, you must have Rego to drive on the road. The so-called Rego, is Registration, also known as domestic road maintenance fees, paid once a year.
Rego is with the license plate, so the fee also includes the licence fee. The vehicle to register has to do RWC (Roadworthy Certificate), and prepare your vehicle`s VIN Number, Engine number, and your driver`s license number. After making an appointment with the Highways Bureau, drive the vehicle you want to register, take the RWC certificate, fill out your ID, form, and hand it over to the Highways Bureau for registration.
How much registration fee do you have to pay?
Take Victoria, for example, the specific cost according to your vehicle location, there are three different standards, if in the central area of the city, also known as the so-called high-risk area, the total Rego cost is 816.50 yuan; in the near urban area, the middle risk area, the cost is 762.6 yuan; in the more remote areas, the risk is the lowest, the cost is 699.9 yuan.
You can also buy a short term Rego at Vicroad, not a full year, and a short term of three or six months.
If Rego expires, the car will not be on the road and will be fined if caught by the police. You can renew the fee before the normal expiration, directly on the official website of the state road bureau, or choose telephone, post office, letter and other means to pay.
The renewal fee can be renewed normally within 3 months of expiration, but after more than 3 months, if there is no renewal fee, the license will be cancelled and can only be re-licensed / registered. Note that cars that do not have a valid license plate cannot drive out. If you want to re-apply for Rego, you need to do RWC,. You can only have the trailer tow to the appropriate location, or apply for a temporary license plate.
Of course, if you stop driving this car, you can also cancel the part of Rego, Rego that is not yet due at any time and ask for a refund of that part of the money. But few people do this because the listing is troublesome. The longer Rego stays, the less expensive it is. So in many cases, if you buy a used car, the car comes with Rego.
Vehicle registration information can be found on the website of the Victoria Highway Bureau. Https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/registration/buy-sell-or-transfer-a-vehicle/check-vehicle-registration
