Preparation is key to ensuring you pass your annual emissions test. An emissions inspection is valid for 12 months or one registration renewal, by the same owner. Georgia’s Clean Air Force (GCAF) recommends that motorists test their vehicle four to six weeks prior to the registration renewal date (the vehicle owner’s birthday) to allow for any needed repairs. Vehicles can be tested well in advance if the owner will be out of the area at the time of registration.
