Lost license plates, registration, and wof ticket

[bigdog]

I went down to the local VTNZ and they sorted it all pretty quick costed me $25.45 for a replacement license plate and a new reg label and wof sticker. Paid another $11.68 for wof and reg holders. Went to The Bolt Shop in Wairau and bought a couple of bolts, with metal and nylon washers with nyloc nuts. Have to say the Bolt Shop were really friendly and helpful despite my order only costing $1.80.

Wasnt as expensive as I thought it would be and got it sorted quick. Hopefully that will keep it falling off for awhile yet!

Thanks for your advice guys!

Having had to do the same thing a few years back with me ole vtr, yep, new plate with diff number and new rego sticker to match, i still had my wof though so no change required there.

The only hassle was when selling the bike with punters questioning why the change of plate? was the bike a write off? bla bla bla........ All Attempts in getting the price knocked back.

Hope that helps

Shame they don't make Ribber tyres anymore.

A question for our resident detectives....
Does a new plate number obscure a vehicles history of offending/suspicious behaviour/driving complaints/money owed etc....

Just asking as this is the second time I have seen when stolen check/carjam suspect feral mobiles stopping nearby: There is a box that comes up "Plates History" for vehicles that have had to get new plates for whatever reason like thread author did for example.
Anyway this POS out in street has had SEVEN different number plates assigned to it, two of which were personalised plates, but wtf can be a legit reason for the rest???

As I understand ... You can apply to the Registrar of Motor vehicles ... for a Vehicle history check. (A fee will be required)

Continuous vehicle Registration will ensure continuous vehicle records .... for that vehicle.

Re-Registration from dead plates will (usually) be a different story.

Some boy racers change them for various reasons. Sometimes it is because they are known to the cops. Perhaps mistakenly they believe that their car won't be recognised as easily. Soon as their car is known they change the plate. It seems to take the heat off until the next time they are stopped.

Also known a few of them to trade plates when money gets tight or they have a little extra.

Usually still linked if they have the original VIN.

VIR should return all records corresponding to the same plate or vin.

I should have used the word cop instead of detective....

When a cop queries that rego, does its ongoing identity crisis flag up. I cant see an legitimate reason to have had six plates in a three year period.
Both cars I've seen with this history have been shitters and only one could be classed as proper boy racer style....

Yeah I got a new rego number. You can get a duplicate replacement plate with same number but it costs alittle more as you have to order it via the www.licensys.com and wait awhile for it to get posted out to you.. as opposed to just going down to the local VTNZ and getting a new plate with a new rego number over the counter.

Maybe he wanted a new one, all you gotta do is say I lost one and fill in the form and buy a new plate - easy as....

I have had three personalised plates stolen in over 31 years... TRIARD - used to have a VW that never went plus I did Triathlons...It was bought by my Mum when they first came out. It cost I think $299 back then?
Two have been damaged, so that makes five plates in total on my vehicles....
All have been the same plate too, so if these were involved in nefarious activities nobody has come knocking at my door.
The last plate and current one sits on my neighbours van which I have to retrieve....It has sentimental value...
I guess I have to now pay him for a new plate and get the personalised one back.....

you can get the square-er style plates from Kingsland VTNZ. They sometimes run out so ring for avaliability. :-)
