QLD Safety Certificate Frequently Asked Questions

 There is no difference between a Safety Certificate and a Roadworthy Certificate, both terms are used for the same legal document that is required by the QLD Government when selling a car or transferring ownership. 

This inspection covers the basic vehicle safety standards for many components including:

• brakes
• steering
• suspension
• tyres
• body rust or damage
• windscreen
• lights

• When a registered vehicle is offered for sale
• Transferring registration to a new owner
• Transferring to Queensland registration from another state or territory
• When re-registering an unregistered vehicle .
