The State Government has released an online tool and an app to allow Queensland drivers to check if cars are registered.
This follows the abolition from today of registration labels, or what the government has dubbed “Rego Sticker Liberation Day”.
Assistant Minister for Public Transport Steve Minnikin said that from today Queenslanders could rip off their rego labels for good.
“All vehicles up to 4.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass, including cars, motorcycles and light trailers, no longer need to show a label, regardless of whether the registration has expired or not,” Mr Minnikin said.
He said the change would save taxpayers up to $3.5 million a year in postage and printing costs.
But he warned the new era was not an excuse to stop registering your vehicle.
“Motorists will still receive their registration notice in the mail, along with payment option information and a fee breakdown,” he said.
“Police and TMR will continue to crack down on unregistered vehicles through current enforcement and the expansion of Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras.”
- To check the registration of any vehicle, download the QLD Rego Check app for free from iTunes or Google Play, visit www.qld.gov.au/checkrego or phone the TMR on 13-23-80.
