NSW pink slip inspections
A pink slip is the safety inspection report your NSW renewal notice may ask for.
Check the renewal notice
Most light vehicles more than five years old need an inspection. Your renewal notice tells you whether it applies to your vehicle.
Visit the workshop
Request an appointment at Campbell Street and confirm your vehicle type before travelling. The examiner checks safety items such as brakes, tyres, lights and restraints.
After the inspection
If the vehicle passes, the examiner sends the report electronically to Transport for NSW. If it needs repairs, the examiner will explain the result and the reassessment steps.

Is this the inspection you need?
This service is for a pink slip request at the St Peters workshop. Check the inspection requirement on your renewal notice before choosing a time. If the vehicle is coming from interstate, has been unregistered for a long period or has a defect notice, explain that first so the right inspection can be identified.
What happens when I send a request?
- Enter your name, phone number and suburb.
- Add your vehicle type and preferred time if you know them.
- The workshop gets in touch to confirm the appointment and charge.
- Bring the vehicle to the agreed workshop appointment.
- Follow the examiner’s next steps and complete registration renewal when eligible.
Prepare for the visit
Have the renewal notice available and mention faults you already know about. Ask about drop-off, waiting and collection when the appointment is confirmed. The suburb guides help you compare a drive to Campbell Street with the passenger trip afterwards.
A request is not a confirmed booking
Submitting the form does not reserve an arrival time. Wait until the workshop agrees a time with you. The site assistant can explain general requirements, but the examiner determines the inspection result and the workshop confirms which vehicles it can inspect.
