What information will I get from a pre-June 1998 plate search?
The pre-June 1998 plate search provides valid registration information for motor vehicles, caravans, trailers and vessels registered in Qld. This information is for a point in time before 9 June 1998.
The result includes:
- Customer Reference Number (CRN), which the Department of Transport and Main Roads allocates to their customers (in this case a registered owner)
- juvenile flag (N if the registered owner is over 18)
- registered owner’s name, address and gender
- registration details including registration category, status, and expiry date; payment mode, and term (months); and CTP insurance class and insurer
- vehicle details including the VIN, engine number, make, model code, body shape, fuel type, number of cylinders, steering mechanism and tare (kg).
How long will it take to receive my results?
The approximate turnaround time for these results is ten business days.
Why don’t registration details return for some plates?
Some registration details aren’t available due to the nature of their ownership. For example, Queensland Police Service vehicles won’t display registration details.
