Roadworthy
Certificate

VicRoads-administered inspections carried out by a licensed tester — fast, thorough, and hassle-free.

What Is a Roadworthy Certificate?

A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is an official document issued by a VicRoads-licensed vehicle tester confirming that a vehicle meets minimum safety standards at the time of inspection. It is not the same as a full mechanical inspection — it is specifically focused on safety.

In Victoria, a roadworthy certificate is required when selling a registered vehicle, re-registering a vehicle with a defect notice, or transferring ownership of a vehicle. FS Auto is a licensed roadworthy testing station, and Frank conducts thorough, honest inspections to get you certified quickly.

When Do You Need One?

A roadworthy certificate is legally required in a number of situations in Victoria. Here's a quick breakdown:

01
Selling Your Car

In Victoria, a registered vehicle must have a current RWC before it can be sold.

02
Re-Registration

If your registration has lapsed or your vehicle has received a defect notice, an RWC is required to re-register.

03
Transfer of Ownership

Transferring a registered vehicle to a new owner requires a valid RWC issued within 30 days.

04
Peace of Mind

Some owners book an RWC simply to confirm their vehicle is safe before a long trip or change of season.
