No, not for the vehicle registration. But, a vehicle identification number (VIN) inspection may be required before titling a car, which precedes the car registration.
If you're buying your car from an Idaho dealer, you don't have to worry about the VIN inspection, as the dealer handles the paperwork. However, if you're buying from an out-of-state dealer or a private party, you may have to take care of the paperwork – including the VIN inspection – yourself. (If there's a loan involved, the bank may handle the paperwork for you.)
However, the VIN inspection is easy to complete. In fact, it can be performed by a number of people, including law enforcement officers, DMV employees, or Idaho vehicle dealers. You can download the inspection form through the DMV site.
However, there are exceptions, such as if you own an electric or hybrid car. And, in Ada County, the newest four model years are exempted from smog testing; in Canyon County, cars that are five years old or newer are exempt.
Call the following for more information regarding emissions checks:
Registration fees vary, depending on the vehicle's age and the county where it's registered.
If you have other questions involving vehicle registration matters, contact the DMV at (208) 334-8649.
