From next week, Territory motorists will be able to renew their driver’s licences and vehicle registrations online using credit cards and BPAY.
Transport and Infrastructure Minister Dr Chris Burns said the launch of the Motor Vehicle Registry’s Quick Pay system will provide a more convenient payment method for Territorians.
“If it’s not time for a vehicle inspection or an eye test, then you can skip the queues and pay online – 24 hours a day, seven days a week,” Dr Burns said.
“You can also notify the MVR of changes of addresses over the internet.”
From next week, licence and registration renewal notices will contain a unique transaction number on the top right-hand side to be used if the recipient wishes to pay online.
Go to www.mvr.nt.gov.au and follow the MVR Quick Pay links.
Like all online government transactions, MVR Quick Pay is protected by NT Government ICT security protocols that ensure customer’s credit information and personal details are secure.
MVR customer service officers will remain available for people who prefer in-person transactions, and an operator-assisted service for telephone payments will continue.
With fewer people expected to attend MVR offices, customers who choose to pay over the counter should benefit from a reduction in waiting time and improved service quality.
“The development of e-Government is about improving and expanding the way the Government delivers its services to the community,” Dr Burns said.
“In the future, Territorians will be able to access more and more government services via the internet.”
The MVR Quick Pay system has been developed through a collaborative partnership between the Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Environment, the Department of Corporate and Information Services, Fujitsu Australia and Charles Darwin University.
