I am printing copies of my rego receipts (car, caravan, boat and trailer) and taking them with me. A cop giving a public info session in
Karumba last time I was there said the onus of proof of current rego for an interstate vehicle rests with the vehicle owner/driver. Anyone ever had a problem? The paper here in SA said Vic cops had a field day booking Crow Eaters going to the Grand final last year as they had no proof of rego.

Hi Mike
Not sure about the field day with Victoian Police, as we have been stikerless for a good number of years now. If drivers were getting booked, were their vehicles registered.?
I can not comment about any other state, but there in SA Zthere is a free app called Ezy Reg that gives you instant details of any vehicle registered here in SA.
You still get the renewal slip, just as we always have and having that in the car does not prove a thing, as you still have to re register just as the the past.
I would love to hear the story from someone in the Victorian Police on their side of the story.
Cheers
Stephen

The app QLD rego is free.
Most states have them, use it should you have an accident and want to
check the vehicle is registered.
The app will provide rego, vehicle, vin, type of rego and expiry date. It will not give you the owners name.

The computerised cameras can
check all states rego immediately. Secondly, if the cops call in your rego by radio the operator can give rego, license, points, criminal history etc details immediately.
I have found it a real bonus not requiring the sticker - I can move my plates between vehicles (only one is registered) as necessary and drive with impunity. I only drive one vehicle at a time - why should the state government charge me two lots of rego when I only need one?
I should point out that the two vehicles are identical except in colour.
