Registering a vehicle with cancelled or expired registration

You will need to re-register a vehicle if it has been registered in NSW before and the previous registration was not renewed within three months of the expiry date, or the registration has been cancelled.

You need to go to a motor registry, or send an authorised representative, to re-register the vehicle.

What you need to provide:

  • Proof of your identity, or if you're registering the vehicle in the name of a company or organisation, proof that the company or organisation is a legal entity.
  • Proof of entitlement to register the vehicle.
  • Proof of your residential address in NSW.
  • A valid green slip with the number plate section blank (except for trailers).
  • A blue slip from an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Station (AUVIS).
  • Evidence of repairs if the vehicle is a repairable write-off.
  • An engineer's certificate if the vehicle has been modified beyond the owner-certified level, or is an Individually Constructed Vehicle (ICV).
  • The number plates (if available).
  • A completed Application for Registration, available form the Registration Foms link below.
  • Evidence of your eligibility for a pensioner or other concession.
  • A Representative's Authority if the vehicle is being registered in the name of an organisation, or if you send someone to register the vheicle for you.
    • For a company, the Director or authorised delegate must complete and sign the Representative's section on the Application for Registration form, or provide a letter of authorisation on letterhead.
    • In the case of an incorporated association, the Public Officer must sign.
    • In all cases, the authorised representative must provide proof of their identity.
  • Payment for fees, taxes and charges.
  • All vehicles presented for registration (including interstate and imported vehicles) may need to be inspected by the RTA's Vehicle Identification and Inspection Unit (VIIU). There is an additional fee for this inspection. If your vehicle needs a VIIU inspection, you will be notified at the time of registration.

What you may need to pay:

  • Registration fees.
  • Stamp duty.
  • Number plate fees.
  • Inspection fee (the blue slip).
  • Vehicle identification inspection fee.
  • CTP insurance premium (the green slip).
