Independent registration information. This website is operated by AUCN and is not a government service. Rego information and a paid PPSR or vehicle history report cover different things.

Check the record and the transaction

A renewal, a buyer transfer and a first NT registration may have different requirements. Select the official guide for your situation rather than relying on an old checklist.

Common questions

Should I include the letters before the plate number?

Yes. Follow the NT check's instructions and enter the full plate, including any required prefix.

Can the NT service check an interstate plate?

Use the corresponding state or territory's registration service for an interstate vehicle.

Can I check an inspection due date?

The official NT registration service includes an inspection-date enquiry. Use it alongside the renewal notice and current inspection guidance.

Do the old light-vehicle inspection rules still apply?

Requirements changed in 2026. Check the current official schedule for the vehicle type and transaction rather than assuming an older rule applies.

Where is the transaction number for online renewal?

It is on the MVR renewal notice. The official renewal guidance explains what to do and which channels are available.

What should a buyer prepare for an NT transfer?

Read the MVR buyer guide for the R11 application, identity and residency evidence, ownership documents and any inspection requirements.

Does this site carry out MVR transactions?

No. This independent guide links to official NT services. Registration changes and record corrections are handled by MVR.

Must I buy an AUCN report to check rego?

No. A commercial report is optional and separate. Review the checkout inclusions and price if you choose to purchase one.
