Hi, I’d like to (respectfully) use this site to make sure my car registration doesnt lapse (again!). Any advice on the best/simplest way to ingest data from this Tasmanian registration website Tasmanian Government Motor Registry System: Tas Rego Check (transport.tas.gov.au) It has a captcha in front of it which is a shame and Im usure of how to navigate it programatically. The site then returns a page with a simple html table in it with around 10 values including expiry date. Cheers.
I used https://github.com/Hartman5/recaptchaV3-Bypass for a recaptcha bypass that had no ‘I’m not a robot’ checkbox.

Captchas are meant to be hard to bypass programmatically. It is their sole purpose.
Ask the organisation for an API access instead.
Yeah I get it. Im not being nefarious. It just seems strange to have a captcha on something that has little consequence if used by a robot and is incredibly useful for automation (or at least reminders).
It is a way to stop data mining.
There are probably a lot of unwanted ways a complete motor register can be used.
did you ever get this working i have a garbage collection that have put a recaptcha on their website so i now cant scrape
No sorry, I gave up.
If you could get it to work, then evil-doers could too and then the captcha would have to be changed.
Contact them for another way.
If captchas would keep any bad players out… They just build or rent a click farm - Captcha solved 
While services like this also exist for individuals they mostly not worth it and mostly target “evil-doers” 
I am not saying it is the perfect solution, but human workforce is WAY more expensive than computer scripts.
Maybe in Denmark Thomas… You probably are aware where click workers are located and how much they “earn” when you can buy 1000 solved captchas for $0.75 which even includes profit for the intermediate? In case you didn’t bother to read the linked article I give you a hint, per captcha correctly solved they receive $0.000… 
Yeah, the human workers do not get much and often gets scammed with no payouts.
Most of the providers use AI solving though and as a customer you paying for each solving, whether successful or failure, unless you report it in, so you gain a lot of manual work too.
Trustpilot is a good source for “reviews” of these products, both seen from the workers and the customers view.
