Vehicle inspection renewal in Seychelles
Renewing a vehicle inspection in Seychelles involves having the vehicle undergo a physical check to ensure it meets roadworthiness standards before a new certificate is issued.
Vehicle inspections are typically an annual requirement. It is advisable to begin the renewal process several weeks before the current inspection certificate expires. This allows ample time to book an appointment for the inspection, address any minor issues found during the check, and account for potential processing delays.
Start 30 days ahead

Who handles it
Seychelles Land Transport Agency (SLTA)
The fee for a vehicle inspection is subject to change and may vary depending on the vehicle type. Current fees should be confirmed directly with the Seychelles Land Transport Agency (SLTA) or an authorised inspection centre.
What commonly goes wrong
- Failing to book an appointment in advance can lead to delays, especially during peak periods.
- Vehicles that do not meet the roadworthiness standards will not pass the inspection and will require repairs before a certificate can be issued, incurring additional time and cost.
- Ensure all vehicle documents are up-to-date and accessible for the inspection.
