All vehicles registered in Massachusetts must pass a yearly vehicle inspection in order to ensure that they are up to state standards. This includes both an emissions test and a safety inspection. Driving any motor vehicle without a valid inspection sticker is a traffic violation that may result in a fine and affect your insurance rate. The Massachusetts Vehicle Check program is the vehicle emissions testing and safety inspection program for the Commonwealth. You can get an inspection at any of the 1,800 licensed inspection stations in Massachusetts from their Inspection Station Locator.
