POPULAR QUESTIONS
-
When is a safety inspection neededl?
A Safety Standards Certificate is required in the case of any vehicle changing hands to a new owner. This step is required before the new owner’s licence plate can be attached. The car must receive a Certificate before it can be “plated” (receive new plates from the Ministry of Transportation).
-
How long is the safety certificate good for?
As soon as the vehicle passes the SSC inspection, there are 36 days in which it can be sold and plated to the new owner. If 36 days have passed and the car has not been plated, it must be re-inspected.
-
Does the safety certificate mean the car has a 36-day warranty?
No it is not a warranty. Many people are confused on this point. Even though the vehicle has successfully passed the inspection, things can still happen. A tire could go flat. A bulb could burn out.
