Illinois Inspection Requirements

Many Illinois drivers must pass an annual emissions inspection before they can register their vehicle each year. It’s important to check and see if your vehicle requires an inspection.

What Happens if I Fail My Inspection?

During your emissions inspection, your inspector will either give you a pass or fail grade. If you fail, you’ll need to have repairs completed by a certified technician. Then, your vehicle will need to be retested to ensure it’s compliant.

Keep in mind, if you don’t pass the emissions inspection, you won’t be able to register your vehicle. This makes your vehicle illegal to operate and you could face traffic citations, including serious fines.
