Posted on 10th, Mar 20

As with all cars across Australia, your car’s registration in Melbourne, Victoria will need to be renewed at some point. With that said, many drivers (especially new drivers) might not know what dealing with an expiring vehicle entails. So, we at Mega Car Wreckers (Melbourne’s leading Car Removal service) thought we should help!

Car Expiration

Your Melbourne Car is Going to Expire Soon – Here’s What to Do

If your vehicle’s registration is going to expire soon, you have a few options. Here, we’ll talk about the first option: renew your vehicle’s registration, which we suggest doing as soon as possible. Your vehicle registration will expire at midnight on the date shown on its label or registration certification.

After your vehicle’s registration expires, it is illegal to drive it and doing so may incur heavy fines. You have a 3-month period after expiration to renew it, after which the Victorian Government will automatically cancel your vehicle’s registration. If you want to register your vehicle after it has been cancelled, you can register it at VicRoads.
