Motorists who do not register their cars will now be penalised with demerit points, as well as a fine.
Transport Minister Stephen Joyce says changes to regulations will help prevent fraud and act as a deterrent to people who try to dodge payment.
The fine for an unlicensed vehicle will drop from $200 to $150 but people will also receive 20 demerit points.
The demerit points will only apply for tickets personally served by a police officer.
