I have a Flip n Easy Galvanised folding boat trailer .That I brought new back in 2007 that has the Vin plate attached and all the original paper work needed to get it rego-ed.
But for a long story, it never got Rego-ed or used. The tyres I will replace, as to old.they look ok, But past their use by date.Will give the bearings a repack too.
Q. Because it has never been rego'ed would I have to go through all the hoops, or could I go to the front of the queue at Services here in NSW.
Might have to look the other way when the staff see the old manual Bankcard slip. They may never have seen one. Even have the original NSW RTA application from with all the trailer details pre printed on it, from Marine Trailer Spares P/L . plus the receipt with the vin Number on it.
Because it is still new, weighs 60kg total, does not need or has brakes I can't see the need. Both tail lights/ brake/ blinkers work as they should.
Will wait till 2021 so I can say first registered 2021.
Keep well everyone for the rest of this year and going forward in 2021.

You will need a blue slip for the trailer. And a few sedatives for when you go into the local office of Service NSW. I don't envy you with this one. Take all the paperwork (original receipts and blue slip etc) with you and all SHOULD be OK.
Many years ago, we bought a camper trailer brand new from a dealer in Sydney. We used the van for a trip through Central Australia etc and then parked it up because I had work commitments (that four letter word again)... A few years later, I went to re-register the van for another holiday and I looked at the original rego papers. The weight seemed to be excessive, so I got it weighed at the local weighbridge and took the readout to the RTA, along with the old papers to renew the registration. Then I noted that the chassis number was different to what was on the drawbar. The dealer had stuffed up with the original rego papers, and given us the wrong papers.
Now, here was I presenting with a new (lighter) weighbridge certificate, and a totally different chassis number. A logical RTA person may well have wondered about this and thought it was a totally different vehicle I was registering. But no, they changed the chassis number and the weight and away I went. No problems at all. Very cooperative. That rego ultimately ran out (that 4 letter word again prevented me from using the van again for a while) and I re-registered the van several times over the years, again no problems.
Until one day... When the chassis number of the van came us as being reported stolen. I was telling the RTA lady that we had bought the van new and had the van for years, when a 7 foot 6 inch copper came up behind me. He asked what the problem was and the RTA lady said that this vehicle was reported stolen. He asked the chassis number and she said 1234A or something similar. He asked for a description of the vehicle and she said it was a White Tipper truck. 'Does this look like a tipper truck to you?" he said to her. "No" was the reply. He turned to me and asked if I could weld another number on the chassis. I agreed I could, so he asked if 1234AA was in use on another vehicle. She looked up and said "No". He then said 'The chassis number is 1234AA. She replied that the RTA issued chassis numbers and he said in a very loud voice 'THE CHASSIS NUMBER IS 1234AA'. That issue was sorted thanks to the 7 ft 6 inch copper, but I think that every time since then when I have had to renew any licence or registration, my blood pressure has doubled, and i have had to wait extra-ordinally long times as well. And the RTA lady has long gone from the local branch, yet they seem to have replaced her with a few others who are equally as efficient. In the old days they used to inspect the vehicle and check engine numbers and no of axles etc, but nowadays you have to pay someone to issue a blue slip and they still charge you more to register the vehicles. Oops, I just fell off my soapbox...

Hi Old and Grey
Erad has pretty much told you the process the vin plate should have a tare weight on it if not you will have to go to a weighbridge but first contact a blue slip service provider .I just registered my fold up trailer in nsw and from memory was around 220 for first time then yearly fee is around 70

Morning Erad & Travelyounger,
Thanks for your replies.
I read on services web site that caravan and trailers rego's have been cut by 40%. Sooooo $143 + cost of plate.( correct me if i'm wrong) We will take a ride out and Queue at Services with all paper work and Photo ID. ( that might shock them) + medibank card + rates notice. Plus face mask, PLUS PLUS OLD. That should do it, taking Old with me.
When D wife gets going They (SERVICES) will take an early mark or urgent medical leave. Its the Stress thing in reverse.
Keep Safe everyone.

Hi
If you have been on the web site and attend with the list of required items of paper work, the blue slip, and the money on your card, then it will be no problem. I am not sure why you are concerned as it works well these days. The actual chassis identity check is what the blue slip mechanic is doing and he will need a weight ticket or manufacturers statement possibly. They only accept a ticket from a 'listed' weighbridge, so check for one of those near you, on the web site or ask the blue slip man.
I have done a couple in recent years, latest two months ago, on unregistered vehicles, and they went through ok and as fast as it takes to do the paperwork.
