NSW concessional rego

Any one in NSW tried to renew there concessional rego today. Wife just showed me story on FB. That class of rego deemed non - essential, therefore non-renewable at this time. I guess your not wasting money on rego you can't use.
Cheers Paul.

The facebook article is highly questionable.  If you want correct information, go to the website of RMS or Service NSW.  They cannot just willy nilly deem a vehicle non essential and not process rego renewals.

IF the article does have a grain of accuracy in it and the RMS / Service NSW offices are restricting access to their offices in deemed hot spots, then post your registration off to them (I think they recommend their Parkes office) and your vehicle rego will be renewed without hassle.

I am outside of Sydney and certainly not in a hot zone and can transact everything at the local RMS/ Service NSW office with the only restriction being no more than six customers in the office at any one time.  The others line up outside.

BTW, there is another facebook myth circulating that you cannot drive your conditionally registered vehicle as there are no club events being held.  That is rubbish.  You can use your vehicle  under the sixty day use as provided under the registration in the same manner as any fully registered vehicle can be used - shopping; medical; within your LGA etc etc.  You still need to complete the RMS log book entry for the day which will be one of the 60 days allowed for personal use (non club events).

If in doubt, go to the source - RMS or Service NSW - and get the facts.

Here you go, how to renew your concessional registration.  I hope this link works!

https://www.nsw.gov.au/topics/vehicle-registration/conditional-and-seasonal/conditional-change?fbclid=IwAR0a7v131X4t8qVRfgZlscnm62xf0M52brkhGgV64UaIy0pImDWA12UGFEM

Scroll down to the heading "Vehicles that must be renewed by phone, in person or by post" - ie, no on-line renewal option.

If you cannot get access into a RMS / Service NSW office, follow the instructions for faxing or posting your rego.

If the link does not work, copy and paste into your browser and it should take you there.

Good luck.

This is a transcript from Transport NSW on behalf of TFNSW (old RMS) and Service NSW (SNSW) to another club.  It confirms a visit to a service centre for registration of historic/classic vehicles may result in refusal of service unless you can prove use of your vehicle is essential.  It does NOT say you cannot complete the transaction via fax or mail to Parkes (as per the link posted previously).  Taking that one step further, it also does not say you can/should use the fax or post to Parkes facility!  I am not getting involved further here as it is really up to the individual clubs to obtain OFFICIAL advice from the government departments.  Good luck.

Here is the email transcript with the name of the writer noted as David Clift ASRF NSW DIV.DIR.:

from TfNSW.

Good morning David,

Service NSW (SNSW) service centres are open to support customers with essential services only. As per the stay-at-home order, if a transaction is not essential, customers are advised that they should delay their visit to a service centre at this time.

As Historic and classic vehicles are often a recreational/secondary vehicle for a customer that can only be used a specific number of times per year, it is likely that service centres may deem this as a non-essential transaction at this time. However if the customer is able to provide documentation that illustrates this vehicle is their only means of transport, SNSW may allow the transaction to be processed.
If the customer needs to move an unregistered vehicle they can apply for an Unregistered Vehicle Permit (UVP) and once the current  Public Health Order is lifted they can undertake the establishment of registration/renewal.
Pink slips are valid for 6 months and deferrals can be considered

To protect the community and help slow the spread of COVID-19, Transport for NSW in collaboration with Service NSW have implemented a number of temporary measures to assist customers.

One of the initiatives in place is to assist customers for the purpose of registration renewal.

This is for all vehicles that have expired (up to 3 months from the expiry date) or are due to expire on or before 30 September 2021.

All light vehicles (with a GVM of 4.5 tonne or less) are eligible except for:
Vehicles with an existing defect or failed inspection certificate
Vehicles with a customer restriction preventing renewal for example, an outstanding Takata airbag matter
Vehicles that must be inspected at a HVIS or HVAIS station; and
Registered operators who previously received a safety inspection deferral in 2020 and have not yet had their vehicle inspected.

There is no provision in place for conditional registration renewals, including the Historic Vehicle Scheme vehicles, under the COVID arrangements.
