The concept of Rego Reminder was born through necessity when John Nelli, now a Rego Reminder director, had a problem with keeping track of registration details for vehicles in a modest sized fleet.  The problem loomed bigger with the immanent onset of the abolition of registration windscreen stickers in January 2010.

After meetings with potential investors, John Nelli teamed up with Archie Lazarides and Peter O'Keeffe. Rego Reminder was born.

After testing various methods and materials, a sturdy windscreen sticker was developed and patented, with a series of boxes outlining the 12 months of the year.  A scratch off material was then added, to give user the ability to display the month of the year when his or her registration was due.

Kevin Stevens was appointed Sales Manager, and a series of stickers were printed for sale from over 100 outlets within Western Australia, as well as personalised stickers for individual businesses within the automotive industry.

Rego Reminder then approached Jay Barron,  Sales Manager for CarGuide / The Sunday Times who realised the importance of making sure people were made aware of the pitfalls of letting their vehicle registration expire.  A joint venture was formed between the 2 parties after a negotiation period of roughly 12 months, which saw the CarsGuide logo being placed on all Western Australian Rego Reminder windscreen stickers.

Rego Reminder also negotiated with Stephen Moir, CEO of the Motor Trade Association WA to produce stickers for their members.

The South Australian state government followed suit in July 2011, and registration stickers were abolished in that sate also. Rego Reminder has since produced stickers for John Chapman, the CEO of the Motor Trade Association SA, as well as Gary Lawrence at the RAA in South Australia.

The initial design of the sticker was changed to encompass the use of stickers throughout the whole of Australia , and stickers went on sale in outlets within South Australia.

Rego Reminder are now poised to move into other states as the domino effect gathers momentum.
