Vehicle Inspection

NOTE

Oregon DEQ requests that anyone interacting with vehicle inspection staff follow COVID-19 state guidelines. Face masks must be worn when visiting DEQ offices and the Vehicle Inspection Program testing stations, regardless of vaccination status.

The Oregon Legislature recently passed HB 2137 affording relief to many vehicle registrants during the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the other forms of relief, the bill formalizes the law enforcement discretion previously in place by providing that “during the period beginning on Jan. 1, 2021 and ending on Dec. 31, 2021, a policy officer may not issue a citation for a vehicle registration that is expired for fewer than six months."

DEQ's goal is to protect the health and safety of our staff and customers.

Read a few tips about the test

Be sure to bring:

Your entire DMV registration renewal form with sections 1 (insurance information) and 2 (signature of owner) completed to receive renewal tags.
DEQ accepts Cash, PIN-less Debit/Credit card (VISA, MasterCard or Discover) or money order to pay for the emissions test AND your DMV registration fees.

Did you lose the DMV information mailed to you?
* Paperwork not necessary to receive just an emission test

A few things to remember:

Please leave your pets at home
No smoking or tobacco use on State of Oregon property
Please turn off cell phones in the testing lane
Excessively smoking vehicles will not be tested
Make sure your vehicle is in good working condition
Vehicles that pose a safety hazard will not be tested
Trailers, towed vehicles or other mobile equipment must be disconnected from the vehicle prior to testing
Motorcycles, off-road vehicles, trailers and any other vehicle not required to have an emissions test must have VIN inspections performed at the DMV
