If you realise that your road tax is about to expire or has already expired, here are the steps you can take to renew your road tax – especially if you’re late.
Step 1: Check for Outstanding Fines:
Before you can do your road tax renewal online, you need to make sure that you don’t have any outstanding fines or penalties. You can visit the One Motoring website or the Singapore Police Force e-services to check for any fines and/or notices and see if you owe any money.
Step 2: Get an Auto Insurance Quote Online:
If you haven’t already done so, you’ll need to get car or motorcycle insurance before you can do your road tax renewal online. Many insurance providers offer online quick quotes, making it easy to compare prices and find the best deal.
Step 3: Send Your Vehicle for Inspection:
Before you can do your road tax renewal online, your vehicle may need to pass an inspection. This varies depending on the regulations in your area, but may include emissions testing or safety checks. You can send your vehicle for inspection at any of these LTA-Authorised Inspection Centres (AIC).
Step 4: Number Plate Inspection:
In some cases, you may also need to have your number plate inspected before you can do your road tax renewal online. This is to ensure that the plate is legal and registered correctly.
Step 5: Renew Your Road Tax Online:
Once you have completed the above steps, you can do your road tax renewal online. Visit the official One Motoring website and look for the “Renew Vehicle Registration” or “Renew Road Tax” option. Enter your vehicle details, check the renewal fee (which may include late fees if you missed the deadline), and choose a payment method.
Step 6: Renew Your Road Tax Offline:
If you are paying your road tax offline, you can do it via AXS services, GIRO, or you can submit your documents and payment directly to any Authorised Road Tax Collection Centre near you in Singapore. Be sure to bring all necessary documents and payment.
