Registration Papers!

[ossie_21]

Potential problem....

I've got some custom plates ready to be picked up that I ordered a couple of weeks ago, and it says in the letter to bring in the existing plates & current rego papers. Now I can't find my last registration papers... I thought it was still in my glove box where I usually keep it after paying it, but I can't find it in my car or anywhere else I would normally keep something like that.

I got home literally 5mins too late to call the DPI & ask them if it's going to be a problem, but has anyone ever had any problems when they needed their papers & didn't have them? (like selling a car for example)

I'd think that it would be easy for them to check up on their system when I go in to the licensing centre to see that the car is registered, & maybe with id that it's registered to me....but I'm just trying to find out now because if it's no problem because with work tomorrow I might not even have a chance to call them to find out!

Can anyone help? Searching has given me nothing

nathan they said i had to take the papers but when i get there they didn't even look at them. Dont know if it was just me or whether or not i just got the lazy person at the centre

They asked me for my papers also in that letter thingo saying they have arrived, I just drove down to the D.P.I unscrewed my original plates went to the counter with the letter and said i need my new custom plates.

Then they changed them over No hassles they never asked me for The rego papers they just said "Ring your Insurance Company and tell them youve changed your plates" Otherwise i had no problems.

So you should be Fine

That's what I was thinking but I'd hate to be waiting there tomorrow & get told I can't have them over a little thing like a piece of paper

yeah if you have an old set lying around you can use those - doesn't have to be current license papers. Otherwise they will print off a duplicate but they will slug you $19 for the priviledge.

Becareful with licensing centres as it's a bit of pot luck. One day you'll get someone more than happy to slightly bend the rules but most times you'll get a stickler for the rules and no matter how small and ridiculous it maybe they will go 'computer says no'

Back in the day i used to do licensing for a dealership so spent many an hour in the licensing centre.
