Can't find your VicRoads certificate? 

Your registration certificate is included on the registration renewal notice in your VicRoads account or on your printed renewal notice. You can screenshot or download a copy from your VicRoads account, which you can find in your notifications or upload a scanned copy of your printed notice.
