CT To Resume Vehicle Inspections, Emissions Testing Today

“We would like to thank the public as well as the test centers for their patience over the past few weeks,” DMV Commissioner Sibongile Magubane said in a statement.

The CT Department of Motor Vehicles is offering extensions to customers impacted by the service outage and

Waiving all emissions test late fees through June 30.

If your emissions test or retest was due between March 30 and April 30, you must complete it by June 30.
