About pink slip inspections

All vehicles over 5 years old require a safety inspection report.

Specifically in New South Wales, a pink slip inspection is a mandatory vehicle safety inspection required for all light vehicles that over five years old. This inspection is officially known as an eSafety Inspection Report and is necessary for the annual renewal of the vehicle registration.

If a vehicle passes the inspection, it receives a pink slip certification, certifying that it is roadworthy and fit to operate. It is then presented to the relevant authorities as proof of the vehicle’s roadworthiness for registration renewal.
