RWC Expiry Tracking & Alerts

Never miss an expiring roadworthy certificate with automatic alerts.

The problem

Roadworthy certificates are valid for only 30 days from the date of issue. A vehicle with an expired RWC cannot be legally sold as registered in Victoria. Tracking expiry dates manually across a fleet — especially larger yards with 20+ vehicles — is error-prone.

Discovering an expired RWC at the point of sale delays handover and frustrates buyers.

Victorian requirements

Under Victorian law, a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) must be provided when selling a registered motor vehicle. According to VicRoads, the certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of issue. If the vehicle is not sold within 30 days, a new RWC must be obtained.

How Friday solves it

Friday tracks RWC expiry dates for every vehicle in your fleet. When you enter the RWC certificate number and issue date, Friday calculates the 30-day expiry automatically. Alerts appear in the notifications bell when certificates are about to expire or have expired.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter RWC details

    When registering a vehicle, add the RWC certificate number and date of issue

  2. 2

    Friday tracks expiry

    Expiry date is calculated automatically (30 days from issue)

  3. 3

    Get alerts

    Click the bell icon (top header) to see expired and expiring certificates

  4. 4

    Renew or update

    Obtain a new RWC and update the vehicle record to clear the alert

Pro tip

Check the notifications bell weekly. Expired RWCs on your lot are a compliance risk and block sales.
