NSW blue slip inspections
A blue slip is the NSW inspection report used when registering certain unregistered light vehicles.
Safety, identity and design
The examiner checks the vehicle against the applicable standards and confirms its identity. Tell the workshop if the car is from interstate, lacks plates or has been out of registration for more than three months.
Before you bring the vehicle
If the vehicle is unregistered, check the NSW rules before moving it. A registration-related trip may be limited to the nearest convenient authorised station. If driving is unsuitable or the trip falls outside the rules, check permit requirements or arrange independent towing.
After the inspection
Keep the original paper report for Service NSW. If there are issues, ask the examiner which items need to be corrected and how to arrange reassessment.
