Frequently asked questions
What Rego Notes does, what it costs, and what you get back from a lookup.
Questions and answers
- What is a rego check?
- A rego check takes an Australian vehicle registration number and returns the details recorded against that plate — including the VIN, make, model, year of manufacture, body type, transmission and an estimated market value range.
- Which states does Rego Notes support?
- All eight Australian states and territories: QLD, NSW, VIC, SA, WA, TAS, NT and ACT. You select the state before running the lookup.
- Can I get a VIN from a rego number?
- Yes. Converting a registration number to a VIN is the most common reason people use Rego Notes. The 17-character VIN is returned with every successful lookup.
- How much does Rego Notes cost?
- Every new account starts with 5 free rego checks. After that you buy checks in packs — 50 checks for A$23.50, or 100 checks for A$36.50. All prices are in Australian dollars. There is no subscription and packs do not expire.
- What happens if a rego is not found?
- You are not charged. If the lookup returns no vehicle, the check is automatically refunded to your balance.
- Can I save notes against a vehicle?
- Yes. Every lookup is saved to your history, and you can attach quick notes and track issues against each vehicle. This is what separates Rego Notes from a one-off lookup tool.
- Is there a mobile app?
- Yes. Rego Notes is available on iOS, and the web app works on any phone, tablet or desktop browser. Your history and notes sync across all of them.
