This is a quick video tutorial on how to open the account on Department of
Transport the DOT direct it is very handy and it's very easy
okay so I'll explain in a few steps what to do and how
so basically when you're open this page just get started and it gives you three
options on the left hand side to use your driver's license and vehicle
details which is the most common way to do it really rather than getting the
registration code from them so as simply as just filling out your driver's
license or learner's permit number for that matter
and obviously the expiry dates and all the relevant details that it asks you
and it's great it's probably one of the best features on this website so there's
been quite a few glitches throughout the you know years when we need a book
driving assessments and you know to do the overseas licenses and and people
with medical conditions and but this is definitely in my opinion this is the
best feature of this website so you can do everything in one spot so yep it's
gonna let us now login yeah I'm basically opening a new account
here so basically nominate your email address and you can choose your username
could be anything really
See mobile phone is optional but it's always a great idea for example if you're you
know registration is overdue they will text you to warn you about it and okay
so just logging into it now
waiting for it to load yep here it is so yep registered it's it's all completed
now and they'll send us an email pretty much within seconds to to verify it yep
it's right up on the top so yeah okay if we open that yep it's going to
give us a confirmation of registration to the DOT direct, okay so
before we click on this let's copy and paste this temporary password okay and
then when we click on the link we can, you know just basically paste it into the section
where you're required as that's your temporary password
yep just paste that login now they've got a bit funny restrictions to do with
you know creating a new password okay so you got to mix small and you know uppercase
letters and numbers so you can't really put something see if I if I try to you
know choose something that's you know it doesn't suit, see it's suggesting one down the
bottom but if I try say anything like name and you know a date of birth or
whatever it is it's not going to let you it's as if someone's going to log in and
pay for your registration that's very unlikely so I wish that happens I wish
somebody pays for my registrations have got a few vehicles so yeah but anyway
it's best to choose the one of the suggested passwords and then you
can save it in your browser so you don't have to remember it you know so no one writes
down their passwords anymore, there's fair few to remember in this day and age
all right so obviously you have to agree to these terms and conditions just gotta
agree and continue okay so this is amazing now look at that
it gives you a timeline when your registrations and the licenses are
due to be paid and no matter where you are you might be traveling overseas but
you can log on and you can pay your rego you can pay even driver's license
I'm not sure exactly if if they need to take a new picture I think every five
you or every ten years they need to take a new picture see this license is
ready for renewal you can check all the pending ones and you can see the dates
and you can even pay in advance
See so this is the one that I've selected so that's the one that's due in August
that's the October that's instructors license so you can even move the
timeline and see what's what's coming up and yeah it's very very handy you know
it's you know you don't have to think about it or have reminders so that's
the one that I've selected up there to pay the registration, see initially it's
selected the three months payment for the registration can remove that from
the trolley but see it says $196.10 so that'd be every three months but once you get to
the checkout it's going to give you different options so you can choose the
obviously six months and twelve months down the bottom so yeah if you if you
don't wish to pay three months you select six and see what's the cost and
then see changes the figure down the bottom three hundred and seventy-six
dollars and five cents if you go to twelve months
it's seven hundred and twenty four so that's what we usually pay, it saves you
probably about I don't know maybe up to twenty bucks if you pay yearly and
this happens to be driving a instructions vehicle so we pay 12 monthly because we
do the yearly inspection so it's handy to do the registration and inspection at
the same or similar time Proceed to the payment it is the
first time I'm doing it as well so you know but it is really handy I've been
planning to do it for a long long time and I thought, well now it's about the
time and you know I've spoken to a few other people and they say it's just amazing
how easy it is and how easily you can track what's pending yeah, okay, so completed and
you can download your receipt clearly on the right-hand side next to the next to
the amount and it's always good to keep your records
and yeah so hit download it's gonna download it and shortly you can save it
to your documents and to claim a text against it say yep
okay there it is in downloads yeah and that's that's that's pretty much it
okay so other features you can get back to profile here you can change
details and the password down the bottom so it's it's fairly easy the overview
which is what we you know done before you can even move the timeline further
and see what's happening so yeah so that's the 2019/20 yeah so you know it
gives you about 12 months worth of timeline which is more than enough
okay so licenses so I hold obviously the HC the I can you know drive semies and
you know trucks and obviously I've got the instructor's down a bottom it even
says the Demerit points um I've got a clean licence I've got a brag a little
bit I haven't lost any so what it means you have no demerit points it doesn't
mean that I haven't got the licence it means that I haven't been fined at all
so, yes status active on the top so we've got booking services, on-demand passenger
transport levy, vehicles details, you can you can check exactly what
cars are under your name and under your licence number I think some people even
have the medical conditions and everything really concerning their
licence and the status of their driver's licence and any any of the
vehicle licenses so got some useful tools here, change contact details,
address Transfer Vehicle and so you don't even have to do that in person
anymore and obviously under the help you can
basically submit what you want to submit to them and you know they say they're
pretty prompt in answering the questions and inquiries thank you for watching and
we'll see in the next video
