Introduction

If your vehicle is seasonally registered, and you want to renew the registration for a first or second quarter (3 months) or a half-year (6 months) term, you can do so at a Service NSW Centre.

Your existing inspection report can be used to cover quarterly or half-yearly additional registration periods as long as those periods are within 12 months of the report's date.

If the report has expired you'll need a new inspection, either:

  • a safety inspection report for light vehicles
  • a Heavy Vehicle Inspection Scheme (HVIS) inspection for heavy vehicles (over 4.5 tonnes).

What you need

  • your proof of identity
  • your concession details (if applicable)
  • if not already submitted electronically to Transport for NSW:
    • the relevant inspection report (if applicable)
    • your compulsory third party (CTP) insurance (green slip) for the required registration term.
  • if you are not the first or second registered operator, a completed Replacement Application – PDF appointing you as the authorised representative.

More information

  • You can renew seasonal registration up to 12 months after the expiry date.
  • You do not receive a renewal reminder for a seasonally registered vehicle.
  • If the registration is expired for more than 12 months you need to:
    • hand in the number plates
    • apply for a new registration.
  • You do not need an inspection if your heavy vehicle is enrolled in the National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme.
