An organisation named UPMART currently claims that it can provide perpetual motor vehicle registration and 100-year driver licences.
Under NSW Legislation the RTA is the only vehicle registration and driver licensing authority in NSW.
Customers are reminded that:
- You cannot legally register your vehicle with UPMART
Registering your vehicle with UPMART (or any other like organisation, claiming to provide vehicle registration) will mean your vehicle is not legally registered or insured for compulsory third party in NSW regardless of whether the vehicle has undergone a roadworthiness inspection and/or purchased compulsory third party insurance.
- You can only get a NSW driver licence from the RTA
Anyone getting a licence card from UPMART (or any other like organisation) will be unlicensed to drive a motor vehicle in NSW.
- Your number plates may be confiscated
If the NSW Police stop a vehicle bearing number plates supplied by UPMART (or any other like organisation) the driver of the vehicle may be booked for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle. The number plates may also be confiscated.
- You may be personally liable if you have an accident
In the case of an accident where the driver of a vehicle, bearing number plates from UPMART (or any other like organisation) is responsible, they may be held personally liable for any damage or injury caused.
For enquires please contact the RTA on 13 22 13.
