Only some states require a periodic safety inspection, and only licensed stations can issue the sticker. Every station here says it performs official state or safety inspections in its business name, listing or on its own website — courtesy and multi-point checks don’t count.

Check what your state requires. Some states combine the safety inspection with an emissions test, some require only one of the two, and many require neither. Bring your registration and proof of insurance; most stations work first come, first served, and some take appointments.
