Quick Facts about Georgia Vehicle Inspections

It’s good to know that there’s an easy exemption for new car owners. If your car is a 2015, 2014 or 2013 model and you’re renewing your registration on your car this year, it doesn’t have to be inspected! For everyone else though, the Georgia Vehicle Emission Inspection Test, or VIR for short, is required before you register your vehicle.

The Georgia DMV suggests that you get your inspection taken care of a couple of weeks prior to when your car’s registration expires. This way, you have some extra time to get any repairs done and get your car retested should it fail the test. Don’t worry if your car fails, once you have the necessary repairs done you can have your car retested at the same station free of charge.
