You can get notifications that your registration is due to your email address or mobile number, instead of receiving paper registration renewal notices by post.
With email or SMS notifications, we'll send you a:
- renewal notification 6 weeks before your registration expires
- reminder one - 7 days before your registration expires (you can choose your preference)
- reminder one day after your registrations expired (if not paid before expiry).
Once you subscribe to email or SMS notifications, you won't get any more paper notices.
Check your spam or junk folder if you don't receive your notifications.
