If you’re unsure whether you need a pink slip, a blue slip or something else entirely—you’re not alone. Rego inspections can be confusing, especially with different rules across states and different terms for roadworthy certificates. In NSW, a pink slip is needed for vehicles over five years old renewing their registration, while a blue slip covers unregistered or defected vehicles that need full safety certification.

At OSP Automotive & Marine, we make the process easy. We’ll let you know what you need, handle the inspection quickly and walk you through any issues that come up. Our experienced team takes pride in clear advice, fair pricing and inspections that don’t waste your time.

What’s the difference between a pink slip and a blue slip in NSW?
A pink slip is a safety inspection report for registered vehicles more than five years old. It’s required for annual rego renewal. A blue slip is a more detailed inspection needed for unregistered vehicles, vehicles brought in from interstate or those that have been written off and repaired. The blue slip confirms roadworthiness, correct identification and compliance with registration requirements. Both slips are submitted electronically to Service NSW once passed.
What’s checked during a pink slip inspection?
A pink slip safety check covers brakes, tyres, lights, suspension, steering, windscreen condition and seat belts. Mechanics also check for oil leaks, ensure the horn and wipers work, and confirm there are no major defects that could impact road safety. It’s not a mechanical service, but it’s a snapshot of whether your vehicle is safe to drive on NSW roads.
How long does a pink or blue slip stay valid for?
A pink slip is valid for 42 days from the date of issue—meaning you’ve got that long to renew your rego before needing another inspection. A blue slip is valid for 28 days and is typically needed when registering a vehicle from scratch or after repairs. If either expires before you complete your rego, you’ll need a new inspection and fresh slip.
