When Do I Need a Roadworthy Certificate?

In Queensland, you need a roadworthy certificate, known as a Safety Certificate, when selling a registered vehicle, transferring ownership, or re-registering an unregistered vehicle. The certificate confirms the vehicle meets minimum safety standards for items such as brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, and structural integrity.


Sellers must display a valid Safety Certificate when advertising a vehicle for sale, unless an exemption applies. Certificates are valid for two months or 2,000 kilometres for private sellers. You may also need one when transferring registration to another state. Obtaining a roadworthy certificate helps ensure vehicles on Queensland roads are safe and compliant.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What does a roadworthy inspection not cover?

    A roadworthy inspection focuses only on safety-related components and does not assess the overall mechanical condition of the vehicle. Items such as engine performance, transmission health, or air conditioning are not included, so additional inspections may be needed for peace of mind.

  • Who can issue a roadworthy certificate in Queensland?

    Only approved inspection stations and authorised inspectors can issue a roadworthy (Safety) Certificate in Queensland. These inspectors are licensed by the Department of Transport and Main Roads and must follow strict inspection guidelines.

  • What happens if my vehicle fails a roadworthy inspection?

    If a vehicle fails a roadworthy inspection, you’ll receive a report outlining the required repairs. Once the issues are fixed, the vehicle can be re-inspected. Only after it meets safety standards can a valid certificate be issued.
