Emissions Inspection

Virginia Emissions Inspection is not required for your vehicle annually, but is required every two (2) years by the Commonwealth of Virginia specifically for residents of the counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William or Stafford or the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas or Manassas Park.

EMISSIONS TIPS:

  • Although inspection fees may vary, the maximum fee amount for an emissions inspection is $28. Should your vehicle fail the initial inspection, you are allowed to have one free retest within 14 calendar days of the initial inspection.

  • The three types of emissions tests performed on gasoline-powered vehicles are (1) Acceleration simulation mode test (2) Two-speed idle test and (3) On-board diagnostic system test. For diesel-powered vehicles (1997 and newer with a GVW of 8,500 pounds or less), an on-board diagnostic computer system test will be performed.

  • Once your vehicle passes inspection, the results are automatically sent to the Vehicle Inspection Database, which is then transmitted to the Department of Motor Vehicles within a 24-hour period. Upon passing the emissions inspection, you have a two-year time window in which you can renew your registration without having to get another inspection.
