Derego

my daughter got a new warrant on her car but it became deregistered a week later how much does it cost to get new plates anyone know? thanks

well ring them up soonest and get it reversed.
because it will be in the tousends of $$ if it is deregistered. possibly a case for fairgo if they dont reverse it for you. It clearly showed the intent you where registering it again.
Also be awear if it dergistered this means it was unlicensed for over a year and you must pay the whole years rego backdating also
You must pay this anyhow even if it is deregisterd. so ring them up reverse it or contact fair go to try and get it changed .

if its dergod the process is depending on how old it is proof of that it was previously registered then a full stripdown inspection just like freshly imported cars it used to be 380$ for that stripdown and then on top new plates and 1 year rego. plus baycorp knocking on your door or who ever was last registered owner of the dead plates to demand the overdue registration from the dead plates.

So why did it suddenly become deregistered. ?

Will depend on type of car, check here for the fees, not sure how she'll go with just getting new plates though as she needs an MR2A form, even though it's got a new WOF the red tape brigade may require it to go through a compliance check again, I'd contact NZTA asap and get them in the loop. sorry forgot the link http://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicle/registration-licensing/fees.html

does this mean she didn't pay for rego for over a year? or it was an insurance wright off she just bought thinking she would avoid the derego?
Why it was deregistered will help determine what needs to be done

What colour is it?

It probably wasn't sudden, the car may have been off the road for 12 months without being on exemption and this was overlooked when getting ready to put back on the road.

O dear. $$$$

I would say the only way it could have got a WOF would be if the registration was current but in arrears for licensing.

Yup those multiple letters with the big red writing can be easily missed.

You can be issued a WOF without current registration- as long as the vehicle is "live" in the system, LanData will allow it to be issued. This includes a vehicle left unlicensed up to 364 days past the expiry of the last paid registration (Or a vehicle where registration has been placed on hold / exemption).

You can't register a car, however, without a current WOF.

If it's lapsed, you have almost 0% chance now of reversing it. The system DOES allow for a "grace" period of a day or so- that's DAY, not WEEK- and partially, at least, because of the process that a de-registration goes through at the Motor Vehicle Registration Centre- it takes a day or so once the automatic system clicks over the 365 day point.

That reversal is at the discretion of a supervisor at the MVRC. Previously, I've had vehicles slip through by up to 48 hours and managed to get them "live" again, after a lot of phone calls, and a formal letter / request. Again- remembering, it's at their discretion, there is no "formal" protocol for allowing a "dead" vehicle back on the "live" register.

I have not managed to resurrect a "dead" vehicle past 48 hours- ever.

Plain and simple- you have 12 months grace to allow you to pay up the registration arrears, and get it re-licensed. Not 12 months 3 days. Technically, it's in breach of the Transport Regulations to have ANY registration arrears- you either keep it current, or you apply for an exemption (on hold) in which case you're formally declaring the vehicle is not being used on the road (and stiff fines apply if you're caught).

NZTA / MVRC have little sympathy if it's simply not paid, and the 12-month grace period is exceeded. It's not their concern, or problem, if people are perceived to be "bending the rules" to suit.

I know that sounds harsh- it may be your daughter recently bought the car from somebody in an unregistered state. But even then, it's crystal clear that the registration is NOT current, and the label tells you in no uncertain terms when it expired. And when she did a CarJam / Motorweb etc check before she bought it (which she did, right?) that would also tell her, in screaming red letters at the top, that it's currently unlicensed, and when it is due to fall dormant.

And if she was "working on it to get a WOF", why wasn't this done when the registration first lapsed?

Sorry- the system is what the system is. You have 12 months to sort a car out- and NZTA / MVRC are not responsible if this timeframe is not adhered to.

They can be if they were sent to somebody else, either way somebody has either not done their homework on the vehicle or had a serious case of brain fade

Good post, I guess the WOF that is on the car now is about as useful as the plates the WOF is associated with? I.E full recompliance check?

Yes, unfortunately, that's right. The re-compliance inspection depends on the age of the vehicle. It is NOT the same as a standard WOF in most cases, there are separate compliance inspection standards to meet- the VIRM for these has different regulations. One of the TSD-savvy members on here (not WOF) will be able to better explain that.

Tell me about it, got a bike going through recompliance at the moment, found out the frame was slightly bent so in getting straightened at the mo, all up it's going to cost $1385 with 6 months license to get back on the road, that's provided nothing else is wrong when it goes through compliance check.

it wasn't sudden my daughter put it off and put it off while it sat on the lawn (her boyfriend drove her around ) but she did get the warrant done and FORGOT the rego

I wasn't complaining just wondering how much it gonna cost her

What it will cost her depends on the type of car it is, but a rough guess would be $400-$500 for the compliance check not including anything they want rectified, and unless it's relatively new or in extremely good condition they'll probably find something and $350 for plates and 6 months license, I'm pretty sure the first license has to be at least 6 months. Then on top of that is the outstanding amount for licensing but that's another matter now.

marda . one of my customers did the same with a late model c/dore it was a ute . cost around $900 to sort it.Go to your local vtnz and find out who can recomply your car.

cost me 350 for compliance and 322 for plates in 6 months rego on 96 commy four years ago

If deregistered it will be in the $$$$

Yep by the time back license fees are included its gonna be four figures IF there's nothing wrong with the car. Letting rego's lapse is a catastrophic error and really amounts to just more Govt donations that can be avoided.
