NO MORE INSPECTION STICKERS, BUT THE VEHICLES STILL MUST BE INSPECTED.
Starting October 1, 2008, North Carolina vehicle safety and emissions inspections will go electronic. This means that windshield inspection stickers will no longer be issued at your next inspection on or after October 1. After that date, the vehicle's inspection will become due the same month as the vehicle's registration renewal as shown on your license tag sticker.
Beginning October 1, vehicles will be required to pass a vehicle inspection prior to registration renewal by the North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles. The North Carolina General Assembly passed legislation (N.C. General Statute Chapter 20, Article 3A, Part 1) requiring the move to electronic inspection authorization to increase inspection compliance statewide and to further benefit the state's air quality and highway safety.
1. In addition to showing the date your vehicle registration is due, your vehicle registration renewal card will also show that your vehicle inspection is due that same month.
2. You must have a current vehicle inspection prior to renewing your annual vehicle registration. Inspection mechanics will continue to issue a receipt showing the date, station and results of your inspection, and a record of your inspection will be entered into the DMV's vehicle registration database.
3. You may have your vehicle inspected up to 90 days prior to your annual vehicle registration due date, but it must be inspected no later than the last day of the month your vehicle registration expires or your registration will be blocked.
4. Depending upon the date of your current inspection sticker, your next vehicle inspection may be greater than 12 months from your last inspection date. No vehicles will have to be inspected more than once in a 12-month period.
5. New North Carolina residents must obtain an inspection prior to registering their vehicle in the state.
