Pink slip inspections: NSW eSafety checks
A pink slip is a vehicle safety inspection used for registration renewal in NSW. Your registration renewal notice tells you if an inspection is required. Let us know when booking your vehicle service so we can discuss arranging the inspection during the same appointment.
Blue slip inspections: unregistered vehicles
A blue slip, formally an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection Scheme inspection, checks safety, design and identity requirements. It may be needed when registering an unregistered vehicle in NSW. The inspection you need depends on your registration circumstances; contact us to discuss requirements and availability before booking.
What happens during an inspection?
An inspection assesses the vehicle against the applicable requirements. It is separate from routine maintenance, and servicing a vehicle does not guarantee that it will pass an inspection.
- We confirm the inspection required and appointment suitability
- The vehicle is physically inspected; an inspection cannot be completed remotely
- Any defects and repair options are explained clearly
- We explain the result and the next steps for your vehicle
Can the inspection be completed at my location?
Mobile pink slip inspections depend on vehicle eligibility, a suitable inspection location and availability. Provide your suburb, vehicle details and access information when enquiring. For blue slips, contact us first to confirm the appropriate inspection arrangements and location for your vehicle.
What to send when enquiring
Tell us whether you need a pink slip or blue slip, your registration status, vehicle make and model, suburb and preferred appointment time. Mention any known defects and whether you also need a service. We discuss inspection arrangements, pricing and any further work before proceeding.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know whether I need a pink slip?
Check your NSW registration renewal notice. It will indicate whether a safety inspection is required. If you are unsure which inspection applies, check the current NSW Government guidance or contact us to discuss your vehicle.
Can I book a pink slip at the same time as servicing?
Yes, let us know when booking your next vehicle service so we can discuss arranging your pink slip inspection at the same time, subject to eligibility, suitable access and availability.
What if the vehicle does not pass?
We explain the defects and discuss repair options and the next steps. Repairs are not automatically included in the inspection and are discussed before any additional work proceeds.
Can you arrange a mobile blue slip?
Contact us with your vehicle and registration details to discuss blue slip arrangements, location requirements and availability. Confirm the arrangements before making a booking.
