How to Check a Roadworthy Certificate Online in Victoria

A Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) is essential if you’re buying, selling, or re-registering a vehicle in Victoria. It ensures that a vehicle meets the minimum safety standards required for use on the road. If you need to verify an RWC online, here’s everything you need to know.

Although you cannot check the validity of an RWC online directly, you can verify related details using the following online services:

• Check Vehicle Registration Status

  VicRoads offers an online tool to check vehicle registration details, which may include roadworthiness information:

  • Visit the VicRoads Registration Check
  • Enter the vehicle’s registration number
  • Review the status of the registration and expiry details

• Verify Licensed Vehicle Testers

  To ensure the RWC was issued by a legitimate source, check the list of licensed vehicle testers on the VicRoads website:

  • Visit the VicRoads Licensed Tester Directory
  • Search for the tester by name or location

• Request a Copy from the Seller or Tester

  If you’re purchasing a vehicle, request a copy of the RWC from the seller. A valid RWC should be issued within 30 days before the sale. You can cross-check the details with the licensed tester.
