might sound dumb but can you get blue slips done in qld ive just bought new 4wd just over the border and can i get blue slip done there before i pick it up or get it done back in nsw when i get home.thanks for any help

It has to be done in whatever state you want to register the vehicle in. A qld bluey will be only worth anything in qld. To rego in NSW it has to be done in NSW.

unregistered vehicle permit its cheap, basicly you get third party insuracne and pay a very small fee at the dept of trans, fill in the form to say its roadworthy n being transfered for what ever reason. Cost me about $130 for two days for DOT and insurance the permit runs midnite to midnite

Wouldn't it be far easier to just simply transfer the rego into your name?

You shouldn't require a road worthy for that either.

Only if he intends on keeping the rego in the state it is already registered. The way i read it, he wants to change states in which its registered, so it will need a blue slip if its intended to change from QLD to NSW rego.

Layto....

yeah its goin from qld to nsw rego

Yep you will have to get a blue slip in NSW then re register your car. You have 7-14 (cant remember) days to do this, Although you can claim the existing registration back from the other state......the catch is you have to hand in the plates in QLD and ask for the cash back.

just found another place that does em only 40km away and he'll only take an hour and a half, but cant do it till next wed, so finally get it done on the wed

If you live that far away from people, bugga registering the truck

Doubt there would be many cops out your way that would check that sort of thing.







(dont take this advise seriously or road nazi will book you )

Unluck mate, would of been easier getting it done on the way home for you.
