NSW here too they send an email as far as I remember. Paid mine before christmas and they notified me in some way or another.
If all you key board warriors were right with setting reminds why is the nsw gov by them self earn over 80million in fines from unrego cars

Please cite your source.
In Jan 2024, there were approximately 6.3 million vehicles registered in NSW. The amount of "unregistered" vehicles is "unknown". (Source: BITRE report)
In 2023, the fine for driving an "unregistered vehicle" was: $772 (source: Lawcodes)
Let's take your bullshit $80,000,000 in unregistered vehicle fine revenue and plug the numbers in.
$80,000,000 / $772 = 103,626 fines.
If we take just this number as being cars that are just out of rego (and not long term, unaccounted for unregistered vehicles) and also single time offenders (not the same person being caught multiple times), this this 103,626 fines represents about 1.6% of the total population of vehicles in NSW.
The truth is, the SMS system doesn't work for some vehicles/owners, because of those 103,626 fines that were handed out, A LOT of those vehicles would be "long term" unregistered vehicles, and thus not eligible for the SMS reminder, because they are so far out of registration. So that 1.6% of vehicles (already a very very small percentage) drops even further if we consider the proportion of vehicles and drivers fined that had vehicles that were way out of registration.
The "reason" NSW makes this revenue is because of the action of policing and enforcement, NOT from reminders, because "just slightly out of registration" vehicles would make up only a "tiny" fraction of the overall "unregistered vehicles" on NSW roads.
So, it would seem that about 99+% of road users get their vehicles registered on time, so this absolutely shows that the system IS working.
@pegaxs: you only have to go on the nsw gov site a find the reports last year it s 40million so you get your fact right https://www.revenue.nsw.gov.au/ 36milion in 2023 so that from there web site
@Alphatheone: To quote what YOU said…
the nsw gov by them self earn over 80million in fines from unrego cars
$80,000,000… YOU said $80 million, not me. And you said that this $80 million comes entirely from "unregistered cars".
So, no, I wont get my facts straight until you get yours "straight". (also, nice link to a whole website and not a direct link to the source. That is akin to citing your source and then just putting down "google.com" as the reference.)
Anyway….
So, let's do the maths again with your newly found figures… (which I think is still bullshit and $36 million includes "other" traffic fines, not just unregistered vehicles. Edit; According to the report, in 2023, the amount of "unregistered vehicle fines" raked in $32,710,382. A mere $3.3 million short of that $36 million.)
$36,000,000 / $772 = 46,632 fines.
Of the approximate 6.3 million vehicles in NSW, this would make these fines total a whopping 0.74% of the total vehicles in NSW. I would suggest that the "rego reminder SMS" system in NSW seems to be working very very well if less than 1% of vehicles are being caught.
Again, a "solution looking for a problem".

Qld sign up for free reminders via email. The only extra service here for a fee is a couple of text messages.
Not always. Their system has been failing (by design?) in some cases recently.
You can set up direct debit too if that works for you. But I agree this is no deal.
Or just put a reminder in your calendar for free?
bwa ha ha ha this is classic "solution looking for a problem"
10% off your rego?
Is it $12 for the year and 10% off Rego, sounds like a great deal.
Additional tax for the stupid
i get reminders for free
I just went to the trouble of signing into my account, which it seems I haven’t done for a while, then I had to receive a one time link, all so I can vote this “deal” down.
Doing the lord's work, friend. :)
Indeed. And I will now consider my good deed for this year done.
Just sitting here, waiting with popcorn…
Even Ozbargain provides FREE REMINDER!
Can set up free in so many free apps.
Receive emails in Qld that Rego is due in month.
Why would anyone want this annual paid service???😜
How is this even a thing for either private or corporate. Amazed that their would be a business case to support such a concept.
It should be free.
And it is free from government.
I say I say, what in tarnation? 🐓 Just use google calendar or a reminder app for recurring reminders.
The "testimonials" are a good laugh
100% they are fake AF.
Any good calendar will allow you to set multiple reminders like this. Don't pay for what you are already getting for free.
Not necessary at all, already receive reminders from Service NSW or I could use the calendar in my phone.
Seems more like just using Ozbargain for free adz than an actual bargain.
This is a solution looking for a problem.
not it tassie so work here
Would have expected a teenager making this, but nope, 26yo
😀😄😅😆🤣
OzExploitation… but then again we have low income earners voting for the Libs, so there must be a market there.
(fropanity) HOW MUCH??
Yeah, nah… "cheaper elsewhere" like say… putting a reminder in your calendar app… the SMS I already get from Service NSW… The email reminder… The rego papers I receive.
Driving Unregistered?
We've got you covered.
Well, this is misleading… What "coverage" do you offer for me driving unregistered?
Just had a read of your site and your reviews are bogus. They are fake reviews. The ACCC take a very dim view of companies who write their own reviews.
Reviews should only be written by those who have actually experienced the product or service and reflect their genuinely held opinion.
Writing fake or misleading reviews is against the law. You should not ask others, including family and third parties, to write reviews about your business without prominently disclosing their personal connection or commercial relationship with your business in that review.
You are clowning… This site is aimed at the same people that visit ".com.au" sites and pay $30+ for information that can be gotten off ".gov.au" sites for $2 or less…
This is the kind of idiotic shit I see pitched on Dragons Den/Shark Tank. Solutions looking for a problem… The only shame is that I can only downvote this post once.

Joined the same day this post was listed and a few hours after all the negative comments had surfaced. You have only commented on this post and ironically list your location as the same place that OP comes from.
It is such a "good deal" that you wrote out a "review" that stinks of the same rhetoric of the fake reviews posted on the Regominder website but didn't bother to upvote the deal?
As for you comment below;
in tassie we dont have this as the gov send it out after the reg expired to catch car owner out
You are wrong… you can receive SMS notifications for your rego expiring in Taswegia. They clearly state that the reminder is for when the registration is "due" NOT after it has "expired".
So, again, I reiterate, Regominder is a "solution looking for a problem"…
Hey everyone, I appreciate all the feedback. I get that this isn’t for everyone, and that’s completely fair. Regominder was built as an extra layer of reminders beyond what’s already available for people who wanted them. Some find that valuable, others don’t. No worries either way.
At the end of the day, I built and launched something as a solo developer, which was a great learning experience, and I appreciate the discussion here. Thanks for the honesty, and I’ll take it on board!
Good for you that you are having a go, everyone has to start somewhere.
It's a university project isn't it? You had to build the actual thing and thought you may as have a crack at launching it.
This is such a flawed business idea. It's not hard to make recurring reminders in your calendar. For free. Back to the drawing board.
Let me send you a calendar invite for half the cost
wow lots keyboard warriors love to bag out a new idea in tassie we dont have this as the gov send it out after the reg expired to catch car owner out so i signed up for it and it worked and it remind up till i need to pay for the rego i signed up for this as i time poor and cant be bothered with what other people are saying to do
so thumbs up for REGOMINDER and don't worry about the keyboard warriors as they didn't come up with it first
oh another if it was working in nsw with rego then the goverment there would not earn over 200milion in fines ….
Well maybe you could, I don’t know, set I reminder on your phone? 🤷♀️
nah I'm too time poor clearly. are you a keyboard warrior?
vicroads sends me reminders for free in victoria….
