    What is the difference between pink and blue slip?

    In the state of New South Wales, a pink slip and a blue slip are both required for vehicle registration, but they are different documents for different purposes.

    A pink slip is a document that certifies that a registered vehicle has passed a safety inspection and is roadworthy. It is required for all vehicles more than five years old that are being re-registered or transferred to a new owner. The pink slip inspection includes a check of the vehicle’s brakes, suspension, steering, lights, tyres, and other safety features to ensure that it meets the state’s roadworthiness standards.

    A blue slip, on the other hand, is a document that certifies that an unregistered vehicle has passed the required safety and identity checks and is ready for registration. It is mandatory for all unregistered vehicles, including those that have been imported from overseas or from another state or territory in Australia. The blue slip inspection is more comprehensive than the pink slip inspection and includes a check of the vehicle’s identification, engine, and chassis number, as well as a check of its safety features.

    In summary, a pink slip is required for registered vehicles more than five years old, while a blue slip is required for unregistered vehicles.
