Vehicle and Traffic (Driver Licensing and Vehicle Registration) Regulations 2021

The Registrar may send a notice of renewal to the registered operator of a vehicle.

A notice of renewal is to – be addressed to the registered operator of the vehicle; and remind the registered operator of the registration expiry date; and warn the registered operator that, if the registration is not renewed on or before the registration expiry date, the registration will expire.

The Registrar's failure to send a notice of renewal, or the non-receipt of the notice, does not postpone the expiry of the registration or affect the obligation of the registered operator to ensure that the registration is renewed if the registered operator wishes to continue to use the vehicle on public streets.
