QLD Rego Check

QLD Rego Check

In Australia, we travel over 230 million kilometres per year on our roads – with over 50,000 motor vehicles on the roads in Queensland alone!

With so many people traveling in motor vehicles, the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads - https://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/ - seeks to educate drivers on how they can ensure their safety, and that of their passengers.

One of the simplest and easiest safety checks you can do is a Queensland registration check. The registration status of a motor vehicle can be directly related to the safety of a vehicle. A rego check can expose potential indications that a vehicle has mechanical issues. For example, if a car has had multiple owners over a short period of time it can indicate a safety issue. 

A rego check provides you information which can assist you in making an informed decision when buying a used car, or when deciding whether to drive a car which is unfamiliar to you. Some of the information which is included is:

• Vehicle registration status
• Registration expiration date
• Registration restrictions
• Confirmation of the VIN number
• Number of previous owners; and more…

What do I need?

All you need is the rego number, or the vehicle’s VIN number.

Why should I check my registration?

Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads legally requires every motor vehicle to be registered. Driving an unregistered vehicle is not only illegal, but can result in hefty fines, injury to yourself or your passengers, or even a fatality. The first step to ensuring the safety of all parties is to know the history of your car – beginnings with a QLD rego check. It’s also important to note that if your registration has expired or is invalid then your CTP insurance is void, meaning you can be liable for damage to third parties in an accident on top of any damage to your car, and any medical bills you may be liable for.
