How to check your car registration status
An online registration check shows the registration history of your car, or one you want to buy. It's free, and is a great way to keep on top of your vehicle’s registration — especially since we no longer have colourful stickers on our windscreens reminding us when to renew.
Check your vehicle registration status online
Each state and territory has their own website:
- New South Wales vehicle registration check
- Queensland vehicle registration check
- Victoria vehicle registration check
- South Australia vehicle registration check
- Western Australia vehicle registration check
- Tasmania vehicle registration check
- Australian Capital Territory vehicle registration check

What information do I get from a registration check?
A registration check will generally provide you with the following details:
- Registration status and expiry date
- Make, model and body shape of the vehicle, and
- Purpose of use (private or commercial).
In some states you’ll also see the vehicle’s current Compulsory Third Party (CTP) or Motor Accident Injuries (MAI) insurer.
In NSW, CTP is also known as a Green Slip and provides cover for people who may be injured or killed in a motor vehicle accident involving your vehicle. This may include the driver of your vehicle, other drivers, passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
In the ACT, Motor Injury Accident (MAI) Insurance covers all people injured in a motor accident, regardless of fault, for up to 5 years.
If you’re in NSW, QLD, SA or the ACT, you can choose your preferred CTP or MAI insurer. Find the right CTP or MAI Insurance product for you through our network of brands: GIO, Suncorp, AAMI, Apia and Shannons.
