Inspection

Step 2. Have an inspection

Most vehicles more than five years old must pass an annual safety inspection. If your vehicle needs an inspection, your Renewal Notice will say so. Trailers under 250kg do not need to be inspected.

To renew your registration, you need to get an e-Safety Check. The inspection report will be sent to the RTA electronically. That makes renewing your registration much easier.

After an e-Safety Check, you can renew your rego online or over the phone.

If your vehicle fails to pass the inspection, a 'white slip' will be issued. This will detail the specific items that need to be fixed before your vehicle can be registered.

Once the repairs have been carried out and checked, an e-Safety Check will be issued.
