VIC Rego Check

Vic Rego Check

In 2016, there were 290 road traffic accidents which resulted in at least one fatality in the state of Victoria. Statistics like these serve as an important reminder to ensure that you check the rego status and rego details of your car – or any car that you are going to drive.

As a driver, it’s your responsibility to ensure that registration is up to date and that a car is safe. A rego check is a simple way to check that a vehicle hasn’t previously been in an accident where it was written off.

VicRoads is the Government body responsible for road and traffic safety in the state of Victoria - https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/.  You can run a rego check using their site, which houses all the vehicle information for the whole state. Data is collected via numerous channels and stored in the one central place.

Anytime an incident such as speeding or running a red light is recorded, VicRoads will automatically run a check using their database to check that a car is registered.

This simple and easy rego check via the VicRoads Department website will check details such as:

  • A vehicle’s registration status
  • Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance details and expiry date
  • Registration details – restrictions, expiry date etc.
  • Vehicle details including  model, transmission and body type

What do I need?

All you need to check the vehicle details above is the car’s VIC registration plate number.

Why should I check my registration?

Heavy fines and other penalties such as demerit points canapply to any driver caught driving a car which isn’t currently registered.

One of the easiest ways to avoid these penalties is to run a VIC Rego Check. This can also help to ensure that your insurance isn’t void in the event that you have an accident. If this does happen you can be liable for hefty bills to fix not only your own car, but also those of any third parties involved.  

Checking the registration of your car helps to ensure the safety of drivers and passengers alike. Ensure your peace of mind by running a rego check for any recently purchased car or any car you’re unfamiliar with before you drive.
