Emissions Inspection to Register Car in MN

You're off the hook. No emissions testing for smog is required for vehicle registration or registration renewal. Government officials terminated the state's smog check requirements in 1999. The DVS does not even require safety inspections, making registration a shockingly easy process. 

To apply for MN car registration, submit the following:

  • Proof of ownership. 
  • A completed Application to Title/Register a Vehicle. This can be downloaded from the DVS's website. 
  • Payment for vehicle registration fee, which, depending on your situation, may include a wheelage tax, a registration tax and sales tax. Contact your local DVS office for help in determining the exact fee. 

The DVS gives you the option of applying in person or by mail. If you opt for mail, allow about 10 days for processing.
