What you pay for
What you pay depends on how you plan to use your motorcycle: standard or recreational. You can find the conditions for each at Register a motorcycle.
When you register for the first time, you pay:
- registration fee
- TAC charge for standard registrations (including Motorcycle Safety Levy for 126cc engine capacity or larger*)
- motor vehicle duty
- number plate fee.
Then when you renew, you will only pay the registration fee and TAC charge.
*Only applies to one standard registration if you have two or more motorcycles that are over 126cc.
Registration renewal fees for motorcycles
Your renewal is due every 12 months. But if you’d like to pay in smaller amounts more often, you can change to a 3 or 6 month period. For short-term registration, your fee will be a pro-rata amount of the annual fee plus an additional $2.70 service fee per registration period.
For standard use, the fee depends on:
- What the engine capacity (cc) is, or if it’s electric.
- Where you usually keep it.
For recreational registration you pay a fixed registration and TAC fee, no matter the type of motorcycle.

Standard motorcycle registration
The below table shows annual registration fees depending on your area, with and without the safety levy. You only need to pay the levy for one motorcycle registration per 12-month period. So, for any additional motorcycles you register, you don’t need to pay the levy. Your motorcycle registration renewal notice will tell you if the Motorcycle Safety Levy applies.
