How to apply
- Gather your vehicle details: registration number or billing number, vehicle make/model/year/fuel type, garaging address (where vehicle is kept overnight in NSW), and main driver details (age, licence status, any demerit points or driving offences).
- Visit the Green Slip Price Check tool at greenslips.nsw.gov.au or via Service NSW to compare real-time quotes from all six licensed CTP insurers in NSW — all greenslips provide identical cover so price is the key differentiator.
- Select your preferred insurer and click through to their website; your vehicle details will often be pre-filled — review the summary screen carefully.
- Confirm the policy start date matches your registration renewal or start date, then complete payment online directly with the insurer.
- Receive your greenslip certificate by email — this is your official proof of CTP cover; the insurer notifies Service NSW electronically once payment is processed.
- Present or reference your greenslip certificate when completing vehicle registration or renewal at a Service NSW Centre or online.
- If you have questions or a dispute, contact SIRA's CTP Assist on 1300 656 919 or email ctpassist@sira.nsw.gov.au.
