Morphology

renew + your + rego

The meaning 'to update/extend your vehicle registration' is directly and compositionally derived from 'renew' (extend/reactivate) + 'your' (possessive) + 'rego' (informal Australian 'registration'). Although 'rego' is colloquial and region-specific, if a learner knows that constituent, the phrase follows a transparent, predictable pattern equivalent to 'renew your registration' and will be immediately understandable.

Etymology

Renew your rego comes from the idea of making a car's papers valid again. Rego is short for 'registration' and renew means to extend it, so the phrase means to update the car's official papers to 'drive legally'.
