NYC Inspection
Getting a motor vehicle comes with great responsibility. You have to have all the documents to travel safely on the roads safely. The government makes the rules to promote our safety, and just like other rules, the New York City Car Inspection is one of them. It was made to promote the safety of the environment, your vehicle, and other vehicles too. The government has requested an annual inspection of your vehicle. The vehicle owner has to get it done for 12 months to complete the documents.
If you do Comprehensive safety inspections are required on all vehicles.
What you need to bring:
• A valid insurance card reflecting policy expiration date
• Hard copy or on cell phone, both are acceptable proof
Once your inspection passes, you will have everything you need to register your vehicle in New York.
