Pink Slip vs Blue Slip
Both are required for NSW vehicle registration — but they serve different purposes. Here's what you need to know.
From registration renewal
Pink Slip
Required for vehicles 5+ years old to renew their NSW registration.
An eSafety check (pink slip) verifies your vehicle is roadworthy and safe to drive before registration renewal. It's lodged electronically with Service NSW immediately upon passing.
