In Australia, you look up car registration through your state or territory’s official portal, not some shifty third‑party with promises and pop‑ups.
Use the plate number to check status, expiry, and basic details via Service NSW (NSW), VicRoads (VIC), TMR (QLD), DOT (WA), Access Canberra (ACT), Service SA/EzyReg (SA), MVR (NT), or Transport Tasmania (TAS).
For the full picture on finance owing, write‑off or stolen status, grab a PPSR certificate using the VIN—cheap, quick, and worth its weight in dodged headaches.
If the result looks odd, assume the data’s stale and verify with the authority before handing over cash, mateship, or your favourite Bunnings sausage.
