Vehicle inspection in the United States

In the United States, vehicle safety inspection and emissions inspection are governed by each state individually. Fifteen states have a periodic (annual or biennial) safety inspection program, while Maryland requires a safety inspection and Alabama requires a VIN inspection on sale or transfer of vehicles which were previously registered in another state. An additional 16 states require periodic emissions inspections.

Vehicle inspection laws by state:

  Periodic safety inspection required

  VIN inspection required upon sale or transfer

  Safety inspection required when registering a vehicle from another jurisdiction

  Emissions testing required in some areas

  Emissions testing required in all areas

  No inspection required

Striped: Both safety and emissions testing required

In 1977, the federal Clean Air Act was amended by Congress to require states to implement vehicle emissions inspection programs, known as I/M programs (for Inspection and Maintenance), in all major metropolitan areas whose air quality failed to meet certain federal standards. New York's program started in 1982, California's program (Smog Check) started in 1984, and Illinois's program started in 1986. The Clean Air Act of 1990 required some states to enact vehicle emissions inspection programs. States impacted were those in metropolitan areas where air quality did not meet federal standards.[1] Some states, including Kentucky and Minnesota, have discontinued their testing programs in recent years with approval from the federal government.
