Land transport online transactions?

Has anyone EVER managed to successfully re-licence their vehicle online?

I just got a warrant tonight, after the post office closed, and thought 'no worries, I can do the rego online'. When I tried to do it I suddenly remembered the last two times I have tried. "transaction not available at present, click here to go back to the main menu".

Do they actually do it? Or is it some sort of survey so they can count the number of times people try????

Really keen to ride down to Welly tomorrow and leaving everything to the last minute as usual, don't want a ticket for no rego.

Yea I do all my rego's online now - they just mail out the rego card later - never had any dramas yet.

Yeah its good - you can get points on your CC - only good thing about the rego fee.

**Ixion** · 24th October 2008, 18:03

I've done it dozens of times. Works fine.

Yep - it's not often you get a bonus when dealing with the government, especially when you are handing dosh over! I do all the relicenceing for my personal and all our work vehicles online and have never had any issues with it, beats queueing at the post office or AA etc.

Well, quick update.

Went back to the site (armed with a new positive attitude) and this time instead of putting in the 'reminder number', I used my licence details.

And it worked!

Thanks for the encouragement.

Well done...... See what a "positive can do attitude" can achieve???

No charge for the free life coaching by the way

Just updated my bikes exemption online, cheers for the reminder.

works fine for me. a bit of lag posting them out but at least all they can do is write a ticket for not displaying the rego. you could write in about that one if you got caught. some post shops or vtnz stations dish regos out at weekends.

Never had an issue online but as has been said you can get ticketed for not displaying sticker so get comformation sent to your email and then print that off.
It may not stop a idiot coppa ticketing you but at least you can show when the transaction was done as proof.

True, it's for not displaying, not 'not having'. Hmmmm.

I did mine on line once and didnt recieve it before I was going to sit my restricted test. So just took the reciept into the post office and they printed me one there. No dramas if you do it online about a week before your rego is due
