Emissions testing is mandatory in Tennessee, but only for residents in the following counties: Davidson (Nashville area), Hamilton, Rutherford, Shelby (Memphis area), Sumner, Williamson, and Wilson.
Proof of emissions testing is required for vehicle registration and registration renewal. To aid the process, the DOR allows you to test up to 90 days in advance of your registration's expiration date. Consider testing early. All emissions inspection sites experience heavy end-of-the-month rushes.
If you pass, you can then apply for car registration with your County Clerk. If you fail, you must have your vehicle repaired and retested.
