No, you don't need an inspection, however please note if your vehicle is greater than 8,500 lbs, the NY State Police or the NY Departments of Transportation and Environmental Conservation may request an inspection.
What happens if it fails inspection?
Then a traffic ticket may be issued.
How much is the ticket?
That information is not provided.
Before submitting my request to have an inspection station, is there a problem if I do not have a certificate of authority?
Wait. I understand that you don't have a Certificate of Authority?
Yes, i do not have that yet. Is there a problem?
In fact, there is. If you are lacking that document, then please do not submit your application to us yet.
Oh, o.k, didn't know that was such a deal. I'll have to get it then. Anyway, do you have any other channel for information?
