Renew An Existing Registration

The following page will show you how to renew one of your existing registrations as it approaches its expiry date. This only applies to Australian product registrations.

For existing product registrations in Australia, you can apply to renew a registration in the last six months before the expiry date. This will extend the expiry date by 5 years from the current expiry date. This applies to all products.

For electric motors only: You have the option of extending your registration for the full 5 years at the current renewal fee, or you may choose to extend the registration for 2.5 years. Refer to the Payment page for details on renewal fees.

Applying to renew the registration with sufficient time prior to the expiry date allows suppliers, or commercial users, to ensure their product maintains a valid registration.

If you allow your registration to expire, the ‘Renew Registration’ function will not be available. You will need to complete a new application to register your product

Please note that you will not be able to edit any details when using the ‘Renew Registration’ function. As such, you must ensure the details in your registration have not changed since your product was originally registered. If the details have changed, you will need to complete a new registration for your product.

To renew a registration:

1. Select the “Payment” page within the form and follow the prompts to pay for your renewal. Renewals attract the same fees as new registrations. Note exceptions for electric motors renewals. For details on the registration fees, click here.
2. If your application does not have any errors, warnings or messages, the system will automatically submit your renewal application for you after you have successfully completed the payment process.
   
   You can check that it has been submitted by going to the "Applications/Registrations" tab and locating your renewal application in the search results table (it should be the first to appear in the search table by default, so no search will actually be required).
   
   However, if there are errors, warnings or messages, you will need to check these before you can submit your renewal application. If it's a green message, you can still submit your renewal; you will just need to do it manually by going to the "Summary and Submission" page and selecting the "Submit" button at the bottom of the page.

3. The Regulator will review and approve your renewal, barring any issues. You will receive an email notification when this happens.
   Once the renewal has been approved, the expiry date will be updated along with the approval certificates and a new invoice will be supplied.
