Will CDL drivers be required to surrender their unexpired license if they renew early?
No. The current license will be voided and handed back. You should carry the old license with your temporary until the new license arrives.
Why was my vehicle “Not Ready” for the inspection?
- Your vehicle’s computer memory may have been reset by a scan tool, during a recent repair, or
- Your battery was recently disconnected or lost its charge, or
- Your vehicle has an emissions control system problem preventing it from self-testing.
What if my vehicle has an emissions problem?
Have your emissions problem diagnosed and determine if the repair is covered under emissions warranty. You will need to make the repair and return for a re-test to get a pass sticker.
Why do we have emissions testing?
Federal law requires Vermont to have an emissions testing program. Ensuring your vehicle is in proper working order allows for;
- Early detection of defects that lead to repairs that improve vehicle performance and fuel economy.
- Repairing a defect before it gets worse saves money.
- Protecting our environment and our health by identifying vehicle problems that cause increased air pollution.

How do I get my vehicle’s OBD system “ready”?
The vehicle should be driven under a variety of normal operating conditions in order for the OBD system to become ready. These operating conditions include a mix of highway driving and stop and go, city-type driving, and at least one overnight-off period. Your vehicle owner’s manual should provide more specific information on getting your vehicle’s OBD system ready.
