Pay your registration for 3, 6 or 12 months

Pay less upfront when you choose a 3 or 6 month registration renewal.

Key things to know:

  • You can choose to register your vehicle for a shorter period of time. This will apply to your next registration renewal period. 
  • If you register for a shorter period your annual registration fee is split into equal portions, which you will need to pay when they are due.
  • A service fee of $2.50 applies for every 3 and 6 month registration renewal, unless you hold an eligible concession card.  
  • Shorter registration is not available for light trailers, caravans, boats or other vessels. 
  • If you own a heavy vehicle or heavy trailer you can change your registration period by visiting a VicRoads Customer Service Centre (not online or over the phone).

What if I have an apprentice discount?

Your apprentice discount applies to shorter registration periods.However, before the registration period ends you’ll need to: 

  • re-apply for your apprentice discount 
  • re-submit your application with supporting paperwork

What if I've recently transferred the vehicle? 

For a vehicle recently transferred to you, you can change this to a shorter registration period when it’s time to renew.
