Smaller, Manageable Payments

Vehicle registration is a significant household cost, often catching motorists off-guard with hefty annual fees. Now, drivers in Queensland have the flexibility to select shorter registration periods, making payments more manageable by spreading costs over 1, 3, 6, or 12 months.

How Does It Work?

By enrolling in the direct debit service, payments are automatically deducted from your nominated bank account or credit/debit card. This ensures your registration payments remain consistent and on time, keeping your vehicle insured and compliant without the hassle of large lump-sum payments.

Easy Setup

Signing up is straightforward—just use the online direct debit service provided by the Department of Transport and Main Roads. You'll need to provide an email and SMS contact to receive timely reminders about upcoming payments or alerts if a payment fails.

A helpful step-by-step video is available to guide new users through enrolling in the direct debit system.

Avoid Payment Delays and Reminders

Given recent delays in sending registration renewal notices, particularly for those with payments due in early July, drivers are encouraged not to wait for reminder notices. Instead, proactively manage your registration online to ensure your payments remain seamless and uninterrupted.
