Which vehicles get inspection?

North Carolina has a total of 100 counties. In all North Carolina counties, all passenger vehicles under 35 years old require a yearly Safety Inspection. 48 of North Carolina’s 100 counties require inspected vehicles to undergo a yearly Safety and Emission inspection for vehicles that are model years 1996 or newer. Passenger Vehicles over 35 years old no longer require inspection. In addition, any vehicle in one of the 48 Safety and Emission counties that has a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) greater than 8,500 pounds only requires a Safety inspection.[1]

How to become a NC Vehicle inspector

To become a Safety Inspector in North Carolina, one must attend an eight hour Safety Inspection course offered by a North Carolina Community College. At the conclusion of the class, the student is required to pass a fifty question multiply choice written exam scoring no less than eighty percent. Students who wish to perform both Safety and Emission Inspections must attend an additional eight hour Emission Inspection class. Before beginning to work as an inspector, students must be certified by local Inspectors/Auditors. This process requires the students to successfully complete a live vehicle inspection administered by a Department of Motor Vehicle Representative. A certified Inspector’s Safety license is valid for 4 years while the Inspectors Emission license is valid for 2 years. Students are required to maintain these licenses by returning to a North Carolina Community College to re-certify.[3]
