Why You'd Need a Safety Certificate
To sell or transfer ownership of any vehicle in Queensland, a safety certificate is legally required. A safety certificate will ensure potential buyers that your vehicle meets all the essential safety requirements and is in good condition to be taken onto public roads. Without it, any vehicle's registration and sale process may not be completed. A safety certificate would ensure legal compliance and that every safety feature of your car works optimally.
When You Need a Safety Certificate
Sale or Transfer of Ownership: A safety certificate is needed for all sales and transfers of ownership.
Re-registering your Vehicle: For a re-registration, your vehicle needs to have a roadworthy check after the lapse of registration of the said vehicle.
Cross Border Movements: Queensland requires interstate vehicles to present a safety certificate to comply with the requirements.
