SA Free Rego Check
At Polcar.com.au, we understand how important it is to make an informed decision when purchasing a used van in South Australia. One of the key steps in this process is conducting an SA registration (rego) check. This simple but essential step ensures that the van you are interested in is roadworthy, legitimate, and ready for you to drive away with confidence.
Why Perform an SA Rego Check?
If you are planning to buy a used van, whether it is for personal or business use, an SA rego check is critical. It is not just for buyers, though. If you are borrowing a van or driving one that is new to you, always start with a rego check. It is the fastest and easiest way to ensure you are not driving an unregistered or illegal vehicle on South Australian roads.
What Is an SA Rego Check?
An SA rego check is a free service provided by the South Australian government through their EzyReg system. This service allows you to confirm the current registration status of any vehicle, including vans, registered in South Australia. It helps you verify if the van is legally registered, and more importantly, it gives you peace of mind before committing to your purchase.
Here is what an SA rego check can tell you:
- Vehicle registration number and VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
- Detailed vehicle description: Year, make, model, and body type
- Usage type (private or commercial)
- Registration status and expiry date
How to Perform an SA Rego Check
Checking the registration status of a van in South Australia is quick and easy. All you need is the vehicle's registration number or VIN. You can perform this check by visiting the SA government's EzyReg website or using their official mobile app.

Why Is an SA Rego Check Important?
- Legal Requirement: In South Australia, driving an unregistered vehicle is illegal and can lead to hefty fines or impoundment. An SA rego check ensures the van you are considering is legally registered.
- Insurance Coverage: Registered vehicles typically include Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance, which covers you in the event of an accident. Driving an unregistered van could leave you financially exposed.
Going Beyond the Basic Rego Check and do a PPSR Report
An SA rego check is a great start, but for more detailed information, you may want to consider a PPSR (Personal Property Securities Register) report. This report, available for a small fee, provides deeper insights into the van's history, including:
- Whether the vehicle has been stolen
- If it has been written off
- Any outstanding finance on the vehicle
- Full VIN check details
Protect Your Purchase with a Comprehensive PPSR Check
We recommend conducting a PPSR check in addition to your SA rego check. This will give you the full picture of the van's history, ensuring you are not caught off guard by any hidden issues. You can easily obtain a PPSR report from the official government website, or read more about it in our guide to $2 PPSR checks.
