Blue slip, explained clearly.
A blue slip is an Authorised Unregistered Vehicle Inspection. You need one when the vehicle is not currently registered in NSW, registration expired more than three months ago, bought unregistered, moved from interstate, imported, or repaired after being written off.
It is more thorough than a pink slip, and it verifies the vehicle's identity. We check the VIN, the engine number and the compliance plate against your paperwork.
Bring the paperwork with you. Proof of ownership, proof of identity, and for an interstate vehicle the previous registration papers. An imported vehicle needs its import approval and compliance documentation. Ring first if you are not sure what you have.
- VIN, engine number and compliance plate checked
- Identity verified against your paperwork
- Valid for 42 days

Inspected and verified
Sixty to ninety minutes. Safety inspection plus identity verification. VIN, engine number and compliance plate checked against your paperwork.
Certificate issued
The blue slip is valid for forty-two days, which is your window to register the vehicle. We lodge it electronically.
What do I need to bring?
Proof of ownership and proof of identity. For an interstate vehicle bring the previous registration papers; for an import bring the import approval and compliance documentation. Ring us if you are unsure.
How long is a blue slip valid?
Forty-two days from the date of inspection. That is the window in which you must complete the registration with Transport for NSW.
Is an imported vehicle more expensive?
An imported vehicle blue slip is quoted: it takes longer because the compliance documentation has to be checked as well, so we confirm the fee when you book.
Can the car be unregistered to get here?
It needs an unregistered vehicle permit to be driven legally, or it comes on a tow truck. We cannot inspect a vehicle that has been driven here without one.
When do I need a blue slip?
- Registration expired more than three months ago
- You bought the vehicle unregistered
- The vehicle is moving to NSW from another state
- The vehicle was imported into Australia
- The vehicle was written off and has been repaired
- The registration was cancelled or the plates were surrendered
