  3. Have the vehicle inspected at an Approved Inspection Station.
  4. The Approved Inspection Station Vehicle Examiner will provide a copy of the failed Application for Registration of a Heavy Vehicle, or Application to Register a Light Motor Vehicle or Trailer and any additional information as required to Vehicle Standards Unit.
  5. An Approval in Principle may be issued to the Vehicle Examiner including appropriate conditions of registration.

    1. approval in principle
    2. Tasmanian licence or other evidence of identity

2What if I sell my vehicle?

Unless the conditions applied state otherwise, the conditions placed on the registration must remain the same and be followed by the new operator.

  • Red and yellow “C plate”.
  • Certificate of registration.
  • Certificate of Approved Operations.

This must be complied with and carried in the vehicle at all times.
