I.D. Plates online - is it a security risk?

That cannot be right. My yellow GTS327 was last regoed in 1975. No records exist of it and the RTA cannot stop me from regoing it

I hope you're right. I am really concerned now that I would not be able to rego my sandman when finished. I've had it since 98, it was last regoed 92ish. Back then I even tracked down an old owner who showed me photos (so I know old rego number) but no paperwork.

A mate had done a freedom of info search on his car a few years ago and got info from 1972, but when I recently tried the RTA said they are "systematically destroying all old records and they are up to 1999, so nothing exists anymore prior"

That is criminal destroying history like that.

Has anyone had a recent experience getting rego on a car that has been unreg for ages?

Hi there, yes Steve. about 3 months ago, 1 x Holden v8 van rego in SA, 7 years out of rego. ...Hand the money over and it's done. Aslong as no motor swaps or anything of that nature. Was very easy

As for the ID plate discussion. I agree with wbute completely! Definately a risk having your personal info available on the internet, for all to see. I would not publish them, solely for theft concerns.
