Pa State Inspections and Emissions Due

Schedule Your Pennsylvania State Vehicle Inspection

Inspection Due Dates

Pennsylvania vehicle inspections are due based on the month and day listed on your current inspection sticker. You’re allowed to complete your inspection:

• During the month shown on the sticker
• Or in either of the two months prior, giving you a three-month window for compliance

Once inspected, your new sticker is valid for one year from the original expiration date. There is no mileage requirement.
