Whether you’re selling your car, registering a vehicle, or need a safety certificate for transfer of registration, this guide explains everything you need to know about Queensland roadworthy certificates and why choosing the right inspection service matters.
What Is a Roadworthy Certificate in Queensland?
A roadworthy certificate (officially called a Safety Certificate in Queensland) is a legal document that confirms your vehicle meets minimum safety standards required by Queensland Transport. This certificate is mandatory when selling, transferring, or registering certain vehicles in Queensland.
The inspection covers critical safety components including brakes, tyres, steering, suspension, lights, windscreen, seatbelts, and body structure. Only licensed examiners like Toros Roadworthy can issue valid safety certificates in Queensland.

When Do You Need a Safety Certificate?
Queensland law requires a safety certificate in these situations:
- Selling your vehicle – Required before transfer of registration
- Re-registering an unregistered vehicle that’s been off the road for more than 3 months
- First registration of imported or rebuilt vehicles
- Changing registration class (e.g., private to commercial)
Important: You do NOT need a roadworthy certificate for routine registration renewals or when buying from a licensed dealer (they must provide one).
