Your GVM will determine this.<\/p>

If your truck is over 16t and currently registered in Queensland then yes you will need to take it into Queensland Transport.<\/p>

However, if the same truck is unregistered or registered in another state then an Approved Inspection Station can issue the COI.<\/p>

You may also require a HVRAS<\/a> for the unregistered vehicle depending on how long it has been unregistered.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
