Your annual car check for rego
A pink slip is the yearly safety inspection your car needs before you can renew its registration in NSW. Transport for NSW calls it an eSafety check. Same thing.
You need one every year once your car is more than five years old, and you can get it done up to six weeks before your rego is due. We're an authorised inspection station for cars and light vehicles, and the result goes through electronically, so there's no paper to lose.
One thing we can't do for you is the green slip: that's your CTP insurance, and it comes from an insurer.
What gets checked
The inspection covers the things that keep you, and everyone around you, safe on the road:
- Tyres and wheels
- Brakes and handbrake
- Steering and suspension
- Lights, indicators and reflectors
- Seatbelts and seats
- Windscreen, wipers and washers
- Body and chassis rust
- Exhaust leaks and noise
If it doesn't pass
No drama. You'll get a straight rundown of what failed and why, plus a price to fix it. Worn tyres, a blown globe or a leaky exhaust are the usual culprits, and most are quick jobs. Once it's sorted we check it again and lodge the pass, and your rego's good to go.

Common questions
How often do I need a pink slip?
Once your car is more than five years old, you need one every year before you can renew your registration. If your car is under five, there's no inspection: just renew your rego and green slip.
How early can I get my pink slip done?
Up to six weeks before your rego is due. Getting it done early gives you time to sort anything that needs fixing without your registration running out.
Is a pink slip the same as an eSafety check?
Yes. Transport for NSW calls it an eSafety check and the result goes through electronically these days, but everyone still calls it a pink slip after the old paper form.
What's the difference between a pink slip, green slip and blue slip?
A pink slip is the yearly safety inspection. A green slip is your CTP insurance, which you buy from an insurer, not a mechanic. A blue slip is a different, more detailed inspection for unregistered vehicles. Not sure which one you need? Ring us and we'll point you in the right direction.
How much does a pink slip cost?
Transport for NSW sets the maximum fee an inspection station can charge for a pink slip. Give us a ring for the current price.
