Otherwise, you do not have to provide proof of passing a smog check or safety inspection during the registration process, including registration renewal.Conversely, you must provide proof of car registration to have your vehicle inspected for safety and smog emissions. You must present it to a safety inspection attendant, prior to the inspection. If do not have a valid Massachusetts registration certificate, the inspection attendant will cancel the emissions test.
