Questions people ask before calling

When is my North Carolina inspection due?

Your vehicle has to pass its annual safety inspection within 90 days before your registration renewal — the DMV renewal notice shows the date. If it isn't done, the renewal is blocked.

Do I need an emissions test too?

Some North Carolina counties still require an emissions (OBD) check at the same visit for many gas cars, but that program is being phased out pending federal approval. Check NCDMV for your county's current rule.

What if my car fails inspection?

The station tells you what failed. Fix those items and bring the car back for a re-inspection — many inspection stations can do the repair too.
