Do I Need an Inspection To Renew My Tags in North Dakota?

No, an inspection is not required to renew your vehicle tags in North Dakota. The state does not mandate safety inspections or emissions testing for vehicle registration renewal. The North Dakota Department of Transportation requires only payment of applicable fees and submission of required documentation as part of the registration renewal process.

North Dakota uses registration stickers that are affixed to the rear license plate. The validation sticker displays the expiration month and year and must be placed on the license plate as directed by the Department of Transportation.
