DEQ Testing Stations and Auto Dealer Mobile On-site Testing

Phasing out prepaid coupons

As part of the continued phase out of prepaid coupons, beginning June 30, 2022, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality will no longer sell prepaid coupons for emission certification payment at DEQ's Clean Air Stations.

To assist coupon users with this transition, Vehicle Inspection Program, will continue to accept or refund coupons already in circulation through Dec. 31, 2022.

Why phase out prepaid coupons?

Due to a significant decline in the use of prepaid coupons, increased administrative costs and availability of re-loadable payment cards, DEQ's vehicle inspection program will continue to phase out the usage of coupons.
