Cancel or refund your vehicle registration

Important information

You may be eligible for a refund if there is at least one whole month remaining on the registration.
You'll need to provide one of the following: your MVR Customer ID, your NT evidence of age card number or your NT driver licence number.
If the vehicle has been transferred in another state or territory, you'll need to attach the plate surrender receipt.
If you aren't the owner of the vehicle, you'll need to attach written approval from the owner to your application.
If you are applying as a company, you'll need to attach your written letter of authority to act on behalf of the company.

This takes about 5 minutes.

If you are eligible for a refund, an administration fee is payable and will be deducted from the refund.

If you need to return your number plates to MVR, you can book an appointment to do this at MVR Darwin.

You can also return your plates in person at any MVR office.
