Short answer: yes—Queensland requires a current Safety Certificate (roadworthy) to transfer registration for most registered cars, utes, 4WDs and motorbikes.
The seller must obtain it before advertising, then hand it to the buyer; for private sales it’s usually valid for 2 months or 2,000 km.
It also applies to trailers/caravans over 750 kg ATM, while small trailers (750 kg or less) are exempt.
Common exemptions include sales to or from a licensed motor dealer, transfers of unregistered vehicles (inspection happens when registering), or certain family/court‑order transfers.
Buyers must lodge the transfer within 14 days, and selling without a certificate can attract fines—because Queensland loves paperwork almost as much as road safety.
