Why is the expiry date for a conditional pass only 90 days?
Conditional passes are only valid for 90 days to ensure motorists address their emissions system defects within one year. The 90-day expiry date does not prevent the motorist from re-licensing the vehicle for a full year. Motorists are still able to re-license for 12 months. However, in cases where the vehicle is sold, or some other major change is made to the Autoplan policy mid-term, the 90-day expiry date reduces the opportunity to extend the licensing beyond 12 months. If a vehicle receives a conditional pass, the owner has 90 days to purchase vehicle licence and insurance. Once the 90-day limit expires, the vehicle will require another AirCare inspection before re-licensing. If a vehicle is sold after the conditional pass expires, the vehicle will need to have an AirCare inspection prior to licensing the vehicle.
