Welcome to our Motorbike Registration page. Here, you’ll find all the necessary information about the motorbike registration process in Ipswich, Queensland, Australia, which includes why a Safety Certificate is required, what our inspections cover, and how we make the process fast and seamless.
Motorbike registration is the process of registering your motorcycle with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) so it can be legally used on Queensland public roads.
Registering your motorbike confirms that it is legal for use, provides compulsory third-party (CTP) insurance, and ensures it meets required safety standards.
We make this process easy with our mobile inspections as we’re authorised to inspect all LAMS approved motorcycles, helping riders get their bikes road-ready quickly.
You need a motorbike registration because it’s a legal requirement in Queensland, and it also assures you that your motorbike is safe and roadworthy.
