Effective June 15, 2023, the Provincial Government will eliminate the requirement to have stickers affixed to vehicle licence plates.

Motor Registration Division will continue to print and mail official registration documents (minus the sticker). Annual vehicle registration fees will still apply.

Vehicle owners are also advised that annual registration fees are reduced by 50 per cent for passenger vehicles, light trucks and taxis for another year, to March 31, 2024. This is a continuation of a 2022 Provincial Budget announcement.

Copies of insurance and registration documents should continue to be kept in vehicles at all times. Stickers currently issued must remain on the plate and will be valid until their expiry date.

Through Information Sharing Agreements with Motor Registration, both the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary and Royal Canadian Mounted Police are provided with real-time access to data, to confirm vehicle registration during routine traffic stops.

Newfoundland and Labrador is aligning with other provinces, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec, where stickers are no longer required.
