Registration Reinstatement fee Queensland

[bazzy]

Same stuff happens, when you fail to pay your registration fee by the due date...there are 2 routes... fill in the registration renewal form (F3515_CFD), take it to a TMR service center (or approved agent...ie; govt. office, magistrate, or police office if they handle TMR agency), and the approved agent sits behind their computer terminal and verifies/re-enters the data into the system, and reactivates the vehicle registration .... OR .... fill out the online registration renewal form and lodge it electronically, which gets processed by one of the TMR employees sitting at their computer terminals back at TMR HQ (on the upper floors)...and they verify/re-enter the data into the system, and reactivate the vehicle registration.

Wotnot

That is absolute garbage
sure you can do the process manually the garbage you have posted about filling out a form and it being processed online by actual people is garbage. online you enter your drivers license and your registration you set your registration period and then click renew. The system calculated the amount owing then processes via a merchant processing platform if i remember correctly Queensland Transport uses bpoint. that then AUTOMATICALLY using an api sends authorization successful or unsuccessful to the back end. upon a successful authorization TMR system AUTOMATICALLY calculates the new expiry date based on the old expiry date and the registration period selected, it then appends the changes to the database entry for your vehicle both the expiry to current and the expiry date to date calculated in the step above. there is no human interaction in that process at all.

I am an Engineer working with development and automation. IT IS LITERALLY MY JOB to set up this type of automation for businesses including government departments. next you will be telling me that the nbn commissioning ports on NTDs are a manual process.

You are wrong and repeating wrong information doesn't make it correct.

and before you say its paying for the use of the third party payment platform it isnt. that platform is used regardless of when the registration is paid.

Now i think where your getting off track here is that you are putting expired registered and cancelled registration into the same basket. When you dont pay your registration by the expiry date the system marks the registration as expired. the entry still exists and you have 3 months to renew it before it is AUTOMATICALLY removed. at that point you then and only then have to go through the process of filling out the paperwork manually for registration.

as clearly stated in my original post we are not talking about 3 months we are talking about a week or so. so what you are doing here is called a straw man
