Rego Due. What To Do?

[xntrq]

So guys, many of you know my 34 is my first car. My rego is due at the end of this month. Just wondering if it is just a matter of renewing the rego or would I have to get all the colourful (blue, green, pink) slips again?

NSW you have to go for an inspection which they just check the basics.

Then you get given a slip (I dont know what colour) and take that in to register it

[Manuel Kasko]

ACT is the best you just get a thing in the mail and you do it over the net.

No inspection needed

Green and pink.

I don't think it's actually pink anymore.

[ARTZ]

Yeah same with VIC believe it or not...despite all our strict as rules it seems they can't be f**ked actually checking our cars..

I mean who cares about safety right, you can't fine a car that's off the road...

Hello,

You need a pink slip - which is a mechanical inspection, can be done at most mechanics (around $35).

The mechanic will fill out paperwork and electronically send it through to the RTA. Once this is through, you will then be able to renew your registration by either going in to the RTA or online.

Then you need to also renew your green slip. Think of this as 'people insurance' for those in and around your car while you are driving.

Hope this helps.

And that "Green Slip" or "CTP" insurance (Chris mentioned above) should be in the mail to you Ricky.

If you're insured with Shannons, Shannons has their own "CTP" "Green Slip" at a discount rate - undercutting other insurers.

So you can shop around...

you will only need a blue slip if rego has lapsed for more then 3 months, Other then that, your pink slip and CTP is all linked, THey will notfify eachother so its in force at the same time.

you can do CTP over the phone and they will give you a recipt number, YOu wrtie that down and put on widnscreen if your rego has lasped for a few weeks.

Then mechnic will test brakes and quick look over, as above about $35

Stupid question, but comprehensive doesn't include CTP does it? I'm with NRMA.

[eiresgaus]

^^ nope, but I think NRMA do some sort of discount for CTP if you have comprehensive through them too. Something like $50 off if I remember correctly.

You can also use this calculator to confirm whether its worth renewing your current green slip or going with another company -

Your car is one of the cleanest 34's I have ever seen

Its worth the money

[Hanaldo]

Pity it's a GT... There's a way to fix that you know!

All NSW pink slips are electronic now, so once you've got the pink slip you can do it all over the Internet.

Roads & Maritime (aka RTA) wants 3 things off you...

1) Registration Papers with $$$

2) CTP (green slip) that has already been paid - this covers people injured in a smash. It will have been stamped after payment.

3) Pink Slip or Vehicle Inspection Slip after your car has been inspected at an authorised station/mechanic; and this has been forwarded to the RMS anyway (before you get there)

After 3) the vehicle inspection has been done (aka pink slip), as Adam and others have said, you can register online.

check your rego papers to see if an inspection is needed, I didn't need one on my series 1 r33 because it was complianced in 2007 and is classed as 2007 model to the rta, so fell into the new car rule of not needing an inspection for 5 years, so you may only need to get your green slip
