Frequently Asked Questions about PINK and BLUE Slips

  • What is the difference between a PINK slip and a BLUE slip?

    A PINK slip certifies that a vehicle has passed a safety inspection and is roadworthy for annual or 6-monthly registration renewal. A BLUE slip is required for unregistered or imported vehicles and confirms compliance with safety and registration standards.

  • Which vehicles require a PINK slip?

    PINK slips are needed for light vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, caravans and trailers when renewing registration, typically for vehicles over five years old or as mandated by local regulations.

  • When is a BLUE slip necessary?

    A BLUE slip is necessary for vehicles that have never been registered in the state, including imported vehicles or those with expired registrations of more than 3 months, to ensure they meet safety and compliance requirements before registration.

  • How does McCloy Automotive handle registration checks?

    Our certified technicians perform thorough inspections for both PINK and BLUE slips, ensuring your vehicle meets all safety standards efficiently and accurately to facilitate smooth registration processing.
