Introduction
If you opt in to Digital Vehicle Registration, you'll:
- have immediate access to your digital Certificate of Registration in your MyServiceNSW Account
- receive by email, in your MyServiceNSW Account and in the Service NSW app:
- a renewal notice 6 weeks before your registration expires
- a reminder to renew your registration:
- 2 weeks before your registration expires
- one day after your registration expires
- no longer receive a paper renewal notice in the post.
Eligibility
You must be:

Notes:
- Conditional registrations are excluded.

- If your paper renewal notice is currently being sent to a fleet manager or lease company, we'll continue to use their address for service.

More information
- After you opt in, your MyServiceNSW Account will be your electronic address for service.
- You can access your digital Certificate of Registration in your MyServiceNSW Account under the registration details for eligible vehicles.
- You can opt out and go back to paper delivery at anytime in your MyServiceNSW Account notification preferences. Save a copy of your Certificate of Registration for your records before you opt out.
- The digital Certificate of Registration does not have any forms on the back. If you sell your vehicle, let us know the buyer’s details by submitting a notice of disposal. Once this is done, the buyer can transfer the registration.
- You do not need to show your registration details to your mechanic to do a safety inspection. They already have these details on their system and must check the vehicle itself (not the certificate) for the correct VIN or chassis number.
