    Light vehicles more than five years old require a pink slip to renew registration. Newer vehicles don’t usually need one until they pass that age threshold.

    If your car doesn’t meet safety standards, you’ll receive a report listing the faults. You’ll have 14 days to repair the issues and return for a free re-inspection.

  • Can I renew registration immediately after a pink slip?

    Yes, once your vehicle passes, the results are sent online to Transport for NSW. You can renew registration the same day without needing any paperwork from the mechanic.

What to Expect During a Rego Check

A pink slip inspection is a detailed safety check rather than just a quick glance. Mechanics examine the overall condition of your vehicle, from tyres and steering to seatbelts and emissions. The goal is to confirm the car can be safely operated on NSW roads. If everything passes, the results are sent electronically to Transport for NSW, allowing you to renew your registration straight away. If repairs are needed, you’ll receive a clear report outlining what must be fixed. This process helps protect both drivers and other road users by ensuring unsafe vehicles aren’t left on the road.
