More information

  • You don't need to show your registration details to your mechanic to do the safety inspection. They already have these details on their system and must check the vehicle itself (not the certificate) for the correct VIN or chassis number.
  • The digital Certificate of Registration does not have any forms on the back. If you sell your vehicle, let us know the buyer’s details by submitting a notice of disposal. Once this is done, the buyer can transfer the registration.
  • You can switch back to paper delivery at anytime in your MyServiceNSW Account notification preferences. Save a copy of your Certificate of Registration for your records before you opt out.
  • For privacy information, read the Digital Vehicle Registration privacy statement
