In QLD, a WOVI (Written‑Off Vehicle Inspection) is the identity check you need if a repairable write‑off is to be re‑registered—think “is it the same car, rebuilt properly, and not wearing someone else’s bits?”
It’s run by Transport and Main Roads, and it’s about identity and evidence of repairs, not a roadworthy—so you’ll still need a safety certificate afterwards.
Book an appointment, bring the vehicle, proof of ownership, and receipts for major parts; if it isn’t registered, sort an unregistered vehicle permit to get it there legally.
Statutory write‑offs are generally not eligible for re‑registration, so check your category before you start spending like a sailor.
Pass WOVI, then do the safety certificate and registration paperwork, and you’re back on the road—ideally without any mystery VINs turning up.
