Buying a used car in the ACT? The free registration check doesn't show finance owing, write-off history, or stolen status. Before you buy, do the official $2 PPSR vehicle search at ppsr.gov.au — it records security interests Australia-wide, regardless of which territory the car is registered in.

ACT rego check FAQs

Is the ACT rego check free?

Yes. Checking a vehicle's registration status through the official ACT portal is free.

Can I check a car with NSW or VIC plates?

The ACT check is for ACT-registered vehicles. For interstate plates, use that state's portal — Service NSW for NSW plates or VicRoads for Victorian plates.

Will it show me the owner's name?

No. The free check shows the vehicle's registration details, not the owner's name.
