Blue slips for modified, imported and written-off vehicles
Check approval, documentation and specialist inspection requirements before arranging transport.
Identify the vehicle history
Describe significant changes, import status or a write-off record when you ask about an inspection. Give the workshop enough information to confirm whether it can handle your case.
Check whether approvals come first
Some vehicles require specialist evidence or approvals before registration. If a vehicle was written off, ask Service NSW about approval for re-registration before booking or paying for transport.
Confirm the order of appointments
Ask which checks and documents must be ready for the examiner. Confirm the vehicle can be accepted, and work out where it can be stored or transported between steps.
