A booking fee is payable for your vehicle’s future inspection. The fee is paid upfront with registration charges. It is treated as an inspection credit for your vehicle. Inspection credits are deducted once you book your inspection. It is important to remember, credits cannot be carried over to another registration period or to another vehicle.
Note: Inspection credits remain with the vehicle if it is transferred to another owner. If you cancel your registration and have not undertaken the inspection, you can obtain a refund.
