Opt in to Digital Vehicle Registration

Introduction

If you opt in to Digital Vehicle Registration, you'll:

• receive by email, in your MyServiceNSW Account and in the Service NSW app:
  • a renewal notice 6 weeks before your registration expires
  • a reminder to renew your registration:
    • 2 weeks before your registration expires 
    • one day after your registration expires
• no longer receive a paper renewal notice in the post.

Eligibility

You must be:

Notes:

• Conditional registrations are excluded.
• You’ll continue to receive a paper renewal notice for any vehicles that do not meet the eligibility criteria.

More information

• After you opt in, your MyServiceNSW Account will be your electronic address for service. 
• You can access your digital Certificate of Registration in your MyServiceNSW Account under the registration details for eligible vehicles.
• You can opt out and go 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. 
• 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 do not need to show your registration details to your mechanic to do a 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.
