As the registered person you're responsible for your vehicle and for meeting the requirements that allow you to drive legally on the road. If you don’t let us know you’ve sold your vehicle, you could end up with someone else’s fines and infringements.
If you sell your vehicle to a wrecker, you need to let us know you’ve sold it. It’s the wrecker's responsibility to cancel the vehicle's registration. Or you can cancel the vehicle before you sell it to the wrecker.

Continuous vehicle licensing (rego) – more information
Most vehicles must be licensed at all times. If you’re not going to use your vehicle on the road for 3 months or more, you can put it on hold (exemption), so you don’t have to pay licence (rego) fees or don’t get an invoice.
Putting your rego on hold – more information
If you didn’t get an email confirmation after you renewed your rego online, you can make sure it went through by checking your vehicle’s expiry date online.
