RTA Notification & e-Safety Check

Greenslip Notification Online

When you purchase a greenslip the insurer will notify the RTA electronically of the greenslip purchase.

Generally, subject to clearance of funds, notification will go through to the RTA within 30 to 60 minutes of processing by the insurer. If you purchase your greenslip from an agent or broker, check how long it will be before processing by the insurer.

 e-Safety Check

New light vehicles plus light commercial vehicles, panel vans, caravans, trailers and four wheel drive vehicles with a compliance date of 1 July 2003 onwards are exempt from requiring a vehicle safety inspection for the first five years. Vehicles more than five years old require a safety inspection prior to registration. The registration renewal papers will tell you if an inspection is required.

Vehicle safety inspection reports were previously called pink slips. Pink slips are now called e-Safety Checks.

e-Safety Checks are issued electronically to the RTA by Authorised Inspection Stations.

Authorised Inspection Stations are called e-Safety Stations.

The benefit of an e-Safety Check is that you can renew your registration on line or over the phone, if you wish to do so.

A list of e-Safety Stations and other information on registering your vehicle is available on the RTA web site.
