Why Choose Free Rego Check?

Legal Registration Check: All vehicles must be registered in Australia, whether you drive that vehicle or not. It is your/driver’s responsibility to ensure that the vehicle is legally registered with authority. Driving an unregistered/fake plate number, could pose you to hefty penalties that may come as heavy fines, imposing demerit points or loss of driving license.
Insurance Coverage check: By conducting a free rego check, you gain insight into your vehicle’s compulsory insurance coverage, known as CTP (Compulsory Third Party). This check provides information about the coverage’s expiration date. In the unfortunate event of an accident involving your vehicle, lacking valid coverage could potentially leave you legally responsible for any injuries or damages incurred.
Inspect Before You Purchase: Conducting a registration or rego check offers you the opportunity to gather comprehensive information about a vehicle before finalizing your purchase decision.
