Safety Certificate FAQs
What is a safety certificate for a car?
A safety certificate is a document that proves your vehicle has been assessed as roadworthy by an approved examiner. You normally need a certificate to transfer or re-register your vehicle.
Safety certificates can be digital or handwritten. Each one includes:
- a unique certificate number
- your vehicle’s details
- the details of the approved inspection station (such as us) and examiner (such as one of our staff)
- the inspection date and time
- the odometer reading at the time of inspection
- confirmation of the checks conducted.
All certificates are lodged with the Department of Main Roads and Transport. Safety certificates don’t need to be displayed anymore, even if they’re handwritten (although some examiners may still have outdated blue safety certificates that mention a display requirement).
Can you sell a car without a safety certificate?
You can sell a car in Queensland without a safety certificate – but only in 2 scenarios. If your vehicle isn’t registered, you don’t need a safety certificate to sell it (although the buyer will need one if they want to drive it on the road). You also don’t need a safety certificate to sell your vehicle to a licensed motor dealer.
Just transferring instead of selling? You’ll still need a safety certificate, except if you’re:
- based in an exempt remote area (but, if you’re reading this in South East Queensland, you’re not in an exempt area)
- transferring a vehicle from a deceased estate to a beneficiary
- transferring a vehicle to your spouse.
How long does a car safety certificate last?
For anyone who isn’t a licensed motor dealer, safety certificates are valid for 2 months or 2,000 kilometres (whichever expires first) from the date of issue.
You can use the same safety certificate to register a car and then sell/transfer it, but you can’t use the same safety certificate for more than one sale/transfer. Each new transfer needs a new safety certificate.
