Virginia State Inspection in Fredericksburg, VA

State Inspections on Princess Ann Street

Dominion Tire is now offering Virginia State Inspections at our 2000 Princess Ann Street Fredericksburg, VA location.

Vehicles registered in the Commonwealth of Virginia must pass an annual inspection, also known as the state inspection, before it is possible to renew the vehicle's registration. The purpose of the Virginia state inspection is to ensure that vehicles meet safety requirements, reducing the likelihood of failures and crashes. You must have this inspection performed at an authorized inspection location. Upon passing the inspection, the vehicle will be issued a new safety inspection sticker.

Virginia State Inspections include the following:

• Safety Inspection: Annually
• Emissions Inspection: Biennially (for urban and suburban northern Virginia)

Moving to Virginia: If you're registering your vehicle in Virginia for the first time and live in an area that requires an emissions inspection but you have a current, valid emissions certificate from the last 12 months, you can register it without a Virginia emissions inspection.
