Can I pay for a shorter registration period? 3 or 6 months, for example?

You can’t do this through Service Victoria yet. But you’ll be able to in future.

Once you set up short-term registration with VicRoads, you can still pay here. 

To pay for 3 or 6 months now, go to VicRoads (External link).

I didn’t get the concession taken off my renewal. How do I fix this?

If you were eligible for a concession and didn’t get it, check VicRoads’ concession information (External link) to find out what to do.

How do I check a vehicle or vessel’s registration?

It’s free to check a vehicle’s registration.

Visit the Personal Property Securities Register (External link) to see if a vehicle or vessel is: 

• Stolen
• Written off
• Registered in another state
• Has an outstanding debt.

Do I need to carry my receipt with me to prove I paid?

You don’t have to, but it’s a good idea to keep a copy of your receipt on you for a few days. 

VicRoads update your records as soon as you pay. But it can take up to 72 hours to process.

How do the police know I’ve registered my vehicle if there's no sticker?

Police use Automated Number Plate Recognition technology to scan traffic.
