rego
noun · casual
Vehicle registration.
How Aussies use it
- My car rego is due next month.
- Don't forget to pay the rego.
Good to know
Every car in Australia must be registered with the state. 'Rego' covers both the registration and its fee.
Saying it more formally
In a formal email, essay or the PTE test, use vehicle registration instead.
Slang is great for chatting with friends and workmates, but keep it out of PTE essays and formal writing.
