Will Extended Vehicle Registration and Fitness Periods Cost More?

No. The current fees will remain the same. Think about it this way: if you have a new vehicle and used to pay $12,000 for one year of fitness, that same fitness certificate will now be valid for five years. A breakdown of the new vehicle fitness validity timelines:

1. New Vehicle – 5 Years
2. 3 Years Old and Less – 3 Years
3. More than 3 Years Old – 2 Years
4. 10 Years and Older – 1 Year

Minister Vaz highlighted that the days of having stickers on your car and the paper certificate of fitness will be a thing of the past. The government will be using this opportunity to utilize more technology. The Registration period will be extended to 2 years. You can find the tweet from the Prime Minister here.

Here are some other announcements from the Minister:

• People must set an appointment online for the driver’s license exam.
• Overhaul of the current Demonstration Plate System.
