Vehicle registration renewal in Fiji
How to renew vehicle registration — how it works anywhere
Renewing a vehicle registration in Fiji involves ensuring the vehicle has a valid certificate of roadworthiness and submitting the application to the Land Transport Authority. The process requires payment of the applicable registration fees to update the vehicle's records in the national system.
It is generally recommended to begin the renewal process at least two weeks before the current registration expires to account for potential vehicle inspection scheduling and processing times at LTA offices.
Start 14 days ahead
This allows sufficient time for any necessary mechanical repairs following an inspection and avoids last-minute queues at LTA offices.

- 2Verify that the vehicle has valid third-party insurance coverage as required by law.
- 3Visit the nearest Land Transport Authority (LTA) office or utilize their online portal if applicable.
- 4Complete the registration renewal application form provided by the authority.
- 5Present the necessary documentation and pay the required registration fees.

Who handles it
Land Transport Authority (LTA)
Fees vary based on the vehicle type, engine capacity, and usage category; check the official LTA fee schedule for the current rates.
What commonly goes wrong
- Failure to maintain a valid Certificate of Roadworthiness will prevent successful renewal.
- Expired insurance policies must be updated before the registration renewal can be processed.
- Ensure all outstanding traffic infringement notices or penalties are cleared, as these can block the renewal process.
