i classify that to be more relaxed.

From what I've seen the Qld RWC (actually a Saftey Certificate since 1999) is only a basic safety inspection (with provision for a VIN check) similar to the NSW Pink Slip wrt roadworthy requirements. The blue NSW slip goes much further. Now, I seriously doubt you would go to the extreme of a *full* identity + design standards + roadworthy check for a Qld Safety Cert. If you do then I stand corrected. The same is applied to a transfer from Qld to NSW as if this was a NSW car that was *never* registered. What happens for a Qld vehicle that was never registered or out of rego for more than 3 months or has never been registered?

not sure what you're trying to imply by "regardless of what has been said here". i think my suggestion was fair

I'm referring to acomment made here by the inital poster that he rang the SA authority and they said he couldn't use an interstate inspection cert. They'll tell you that but you *can*. I've used a Qld Safety Cert for rego in NSW when I was travelling in Qld. the vehicle was bought in Qld and had NSW plates and came with a Qld Safety Cert. The Qld Safety cert was sent to NSW to register the vehicle as a NSW registration while I was travelling in Qld.
Now, the roads authority will give different stories depending on whom you talk to but the basic fact is that there is an agreement in place to accomodate those who are in another state when their registration is due. They agree to accept docs from that other state.
I'd agree to return the car to standard. Except that in SA things seem much more relaxed.
