You can check a vehicle's registration details via the state's Government website where the vehicle has been registered. For vehicle registration checks in the Northern Territory, visit the NT Government website.
Despite being one of the less populated states in Australia, the Northern Territory (NT) still has over 150,000 vehicles on its roads . The Northern Territory Government requires that all vehicles driven on public roads hold current NT registration.
The responsibility to comply with this legal requirement rests with the driver of the vehicle. This applies to both new and used vehicles.
With this in mind, we recommend that anyone responsible for a vehicle conducts a free rego check to ensure peace of mind and avoid the heavy penalties which can apply to drivers caught driving without valid registration.

The Northern Territory Government monitor registrations as part of other routine operations, such as red light cameras. Remember to check your registration to protect yourself from heavy fines or loss of license – and protect yourself and your passengers from injury or even death.
