If your vehicle's emission test could not be found by the Department of Licensing we apologize for any inconvenience and we will try to assist you as quickly as possible.
  
Please note that the following criteria must be met before we can assist you:
 
  • Your vehicle must have had an emission  test conducted in Washington State.
  • In 2008: 1984 - 1994 even model year vehicles and 1997 - 2003 odd model year vehicles AND private party title transfers require an emission test before re-licensing. If your vehicle does not fall in this category contact a vehicle licensing agent (see below).
  • The vehicle must have a passed or waived emission test within the last 365 days.

  • It has been at least 24 hours since the emission test was conducted.

If all these criteria have been met, but your vehicle was inspected without a Washington State license plate you will have to visit a vehicle licensing office.
 


If you have not been able to get a Washington State emission test because your vehicle is currently out of state use Ecology Form No. 020-9 to renew your tabs.
