Introduction
If you're a pensioner, you may be eligible for concessions on your vehicle registration in NSW.
Eligible pensioners do not pay:
- registration fees
- motor vehicle tax
- conditional registration fees
- transfer fee and stamp duty (Department of Veterans' Affairs eligible pensioners only)
The registration concession is for one vehicle per person. If the vehicle is registered in joint names the concession applies only if both of you are eligible.
To find out more, visit Transport for NSW.

You're eligible if you're a NSW resident with a:
- Pensioner Concession Card issued by Services Australia or the Department of Veterans' Affairs (DVA)

How to get a concession
Your eligibility is automatically checked and concessions applied when you register or transfer a vehicle. For example. if you're a pensioner and receive free vehicle registration, you may be eligible for automatic rego renewal.
If your eligibility cannot be confirmed, you'll receive a letter asking you to attend a Service NSW Centre or call 13 22 13.
If you are not eligible, you'll receive a renewal notice with details.
