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

I don't know the exact RTA (NSW) requirements, but my understanding is that when registering an unreg car it needs to match prior RTA records for them to register it, or you need to prove it was previously registered in NSW or another state by showing old rego papers for proof.

steve,i am a licenced dealer in nsw and the rta will register anything with a receipt from the seller.....as long as nothing comes up on there system as in stolen then away you go regardless of any prior information..you dont need old rego papers.
i have only ever had one vehicle that was a problem and that was a commodore that i had purchased without plates..the previous owner had not cancelled its rego so it was still registered..a bit of argument and a stat dec got them to cancel the rego and re register...

Thanks for clarifying that Ozbox, can rest a little easier. I did a police check and all that when I bought it, so its not stolen
