Do I need a roadworthy certificate to sell my car?
Requirements vary by state. Victoria requires the seller to provide a current Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) for all private sales. Queensland requires a current Safety Certificate before the buyer can transfer registration. NSW and SA do not require one for private sales — the buyer takes the vehicle as is. Always check your state's transport authority for current rules before completing any transfer.
