Emissions TestAn emissions test may be required before renewing your license plates. Your current vehicle registration and registration renewal statement will indicate whether or not an emissions test is required. There are rare circumstances when an emissions test expires before renewal cards are printed and renewal cards may display erroneous emissions testing information.
Air Car Colorado has rapid screen emission testing (roadside emissions). The fee of $25.00 for the rapid screen testing will be added to your registration fees at time of renewal. There will be a message on the renewal card if your vehicle passed a roadside emissions test.
