Before you are legally allowed to operate your vehicle on the road, the government requires that you have it registered, regardless of whether it is brand new or used. You can do so at any location that provides Service NSW.

• You will need either the license plate number or the vehicle's billing number in order to proceed.
• You are mandated to purchase a CTP (compulsory third party) insurance policy.
• The majority of light vehicles that are over 5 years old are required to have an eSafety check, also known as a "pink slip."
• In most cases, you have the option of paying for either a 6-month or a 12-month registration period.
• In the event that you are required to renew your registration, Service New South Wales will send you a notice of renewal that includes the pertinent information.

When you register the vehicle, the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance on the vehicle will immediately be transferred to you. Therefore, you shouldn't have to worry about doing anything else until it's time to renew the registration on the vehicle.
