what is a pink slip for a car?

A pink slip for car is a certificate that verifies that a vehicle has passed a safety inspection. It is a physical piece of paper, usually pink, hence the name “pink slip.” A pink slip is typically required when registering a vehicle or renewing it. Most light vehicles more than 5 years old will require an eSafety check before they can be registered in NSW.

A pink slip is issued after a vehicle safety inspection by a licensed inspection station. The inspection checks the vehicle’s roadworthiness, including the brakes, suspension, tires, lights, and other safety features. Once the inspection is completed and the vehicle meets the safety requirements, the inspector will issue a pink slip to the owner.
