If you live in California then you probably know that it is the toughest state in the country when it comes to vehicle emissions. California has strict standards and they check your car’s emissions every two years. Often called a “smog check,” this test needs to be done on time or can’t register your car during your next registration period.
In most other states in the country, a car’s emissions check is performed every year. Instead of being done “pro-actively,” it is usually done during an annual inspection. If your car fails the emissions test, then it won’t receive a new inspection sticker.
