check number plate sa Page 17

Need to check a number plate in SA before you hand over your hard‑earned? Use the SA Government rego check (ezyReg) to confirm registration status, expiry date, and any concessions or restrictions—it’s free and quick. You’ll need the plate number (and VIN if prompted) and about 60 seconds of patience, give or take the coffee sip. Remember, it won’t reveal personal details, just the vehicle’s legal status, which is all you need when buying or selling on a Saturday arvo. For peace of mind, cross‑check the VIN against the paperwork and make sure the engine number isn’t having an identity crisis. Do this before the test drive, not after you’ve fallen for the paint.
