NT written off vehicle register

Your vehicle must be added to the written-off vehicle register within 14 days of your vehicle being declared a total loss by your insurance company. This is also called a written-off vehicle.

If you're not making an insurance claim on your vehicle, you must complete the written-off advice within 14 days of the date of the incident.

Queries and other business for written-off vehicles are dealt with Monday to Friday only.

You can get a refund of current registration where applicable.
