A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is a legal requirement, issued after a vehicle passes a safety inspection. It ensures that the vehicle is safe to be driven on public roads. You’ll need an RWC if you’re:
Our licensed vehicle testers inspect key safety components to ensure your car meets Roads’ standards
An RWC inspection typically takes around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the vehicle’s condition. If repairs are needed, the total process may take longer.
If your car meets all safety requirements, we will issue the Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) immediately. You can then use it for vehicle registration, sale, or other legal purposes.
We recommend booking an appointment to avoid wait times, but we do accept walk-ins based on availability. You can book online or call us.
If your vehicle fails, you will receive a detailed report on the required repairs. You have 7 days to fix the issues and return for a free reinspection. If the issues are not fixed within this timeframe, a new inspection fee may apply.
Please bring the vehicle registration papers and a valid driver’s license. If you’re bringing the vehicle on behalf of someone else, a signed authorization may be required.
