NYS Emmissions Inspection
Each vehicle registered in New York State must be inspected at least every 12 months. The inspection must be done before the expiration date of the current inspection sticker, and whenever the vehicle becomes registered in a different name.
Required Documents
You must have a valid, current New York state registration or current, valid temporary New York state registration (10 day) document as well as the matching license plate and plate sticker adhered to the license plate. We are legally unable to perform an inspection without these documents.
What cars don't need inspection in NY?
Every gasoline vehicle between 2 and 25 years old with a MGW (Maximum Gross Weight) under 10k lbs must pass an Emissions Inspection every year. NY's emissions inspection is quite predictable. Great news if you have a diesel, electric, brand new, or classic vehicle: you don't need this!
