If you have a car that has been given an emissions test and failed, you may have a problem. Your car has to be fixed before it can be legally registered in your state. However, if this is the only vehicle that you own, you will probably still need to drive to get to work and other appointments. A 30 day permit lets you legally drive your vehicle while you're waiting for the mechanic to fix the issues that caused you to fail the inspection.

In order to get a 30 day permit, you will need the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), your driver's license information, and proof of insurance on the vehicle for the entire 30 days. Generally, you can only get one 30 day permit per vehicle in any 12 month period.

You must display the 30 day permit in the bottom right corner of the rear window of the vehicle it is for. There will also be a part of the permit that you can cut off from the printed sheet to carry for proof of registration.
