When Do I Get Tested?

Search for your Test Date

You must have an emissions test every other year.

Over the next two years, you will be sent a notice in the mail with your test date that provides a generous time period for getting it done. Why get the test done early?

Where Do I Get Tested?

Find a Test Center

Have the test completed at any of the test centers in the statewide network. The test fee is $20.

View a full listing of test centers or search by zip code.

What Should I Know About the Test?

What Is the Test Like?

The test is easy and efficient.

Any motorist whose vehicle does not have the emissions test by its due date will not be allowed to renew the registration on that vehicle.

What If I Fail the Test?

What Are My Options?

You have 30 consecutive days from the date of the initial test to have your vehicle's emissions problems fixed and pass a one-time free re-test at the original test center.
